Default Found the root cause! Now cam keeper needed
Hi All! Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday.
So I had a oil leak coming from the cam plug, when I removed it I found not only the plug not in strait but it was also too thick.. it was hitting the cam shaft and rubbing. Explains the “gold” in the oil. I think “they” slammed it home enough to push the cam forward and it broke the camshaft keeper. I saw the cracks down the middle and both bolt ears.

Any leads on a cam keeper for my 305e?

Thanks!
