I find out today if the cam gear is bad. Putting a scope down in there. I've been told the distributor gear is a softer metal than the cam, so I could get lucky.

I would think the oil filter catches most of the metal shavings. Of course I would drain, and put new oil in, and check out the oil pan itself, but I think I'd be alright in that aspect. This is apparently been happening for a while, and only now the the distributor locked up am I finding a problem.

The engine itself was rebuilt 14K miles ago.
