No service parts were available for the cam carrier .. A complete new carrier with cams installed being the only option.
The assembly has been modified with the cams now having no bearings, they now have much larger journals that run direct in the carrier.
The sump was removed and sections of ball separator were found, a good clean up of the cylinder head found bearing balls & separator pieces hidden away in nooks & crannies.
The oil pump was also removed & found to be in acceptable condition.
The oil & filter was changed after 250 miles, with instructions for another change after 1000 miles have been covered.
