Those pictures look eerily familiar--LOL.
Well.......The dead hole if obviously from the cam/lifter. If the cylinder walls look good, lifter bore is good, and heads are good then a Cam isn't that expensive it's just a lot of work to put in but can be done without pulling the pistons/rods out. I'd put rod and main bearings in, have the heads done, and let her rip.

I'm hoping. The cylinder walls and lifter bore are nice.
I am honestly hoping the crank can be lifted enough for the cam to clear without unbolting the rods.

Anyone pulled the no no bolts and rear crank balancer? Whats under there? Anyone have a pic? I hear there is a keyway but no one ever gets them back on right for some reason.

But the way the grind the crank after the cap is bolted in place is the
reason that I think they say it's a NO NO. If there is not a key of some type
then you never going to get it to line up right without regrinding it.

Unfortunately it's not that easy. Timing the cam and crank is a trick because of the angle cut gears. You can be one tooth off and it "looks" good, but when you use the timing tool you'll find that your off. You can pull the crank and cam and leave the pistons in the block but it takes some serious work and patience to get it back in because of the rods and crank throws interfering with each other. I ended up having to turn my crank because I had a main get scratched up from metal going through the system.
