    Are you replacing the rollers & pins or replacing the cam follower assemblies with recon?

    All Rollers and pins in progress. Just picked up an arbor press to get the new ones in. Hopefully easy

    Are you familiar with the timing process or will you measure & replace the gaskets?

    Nothing good I would say. It's going to keep wearing as well as the roller. Metal in your oil.

    It will run until it won't. No one can really say how long it will go honestly. you will probably start to notice some performance issues. If you are gonna run it I would keep up with the oil filters and keep an eye on it. There will be metal coming off of it and it has to go somewhere. It will start to wear away at your cam follower as well if it hasn't already.

    If it was mine, I would probably change it asap. Who knows how long mine looked like that before I found it due to an unrelated oil leak.

    I understand that not everyone is in the same place financially but it isn't going to get any cheaper to fix it as time goes on.
