Taking me a few more weeks and alot more $$$ than i thought

Like I said its the 1st time taking a motor apart by myself but I'm the type of person that only learns one way, by doing it! Lol. Here's the biggest problem I'm dealing with now. I didn't know you could wipe a cam shaft by putting new lifters in and crane dosnt make the same cam so I'm waiting to get my heads back so I can bolt them back on to get the piston/ valve clearance so I can chose a cam. Lesson learned!
