Re: I think my mechanic burned me please advise

Should have been an engine rebuild not a cam swap/. Your old cam killed the engine. Did they advise you that its a stupid idea to ignore the pile of metal that was spewed through the engine and just continue with the cam swap? As soon as that cam came out with wiped lobes they should have stopped and called you to get the go ahead to yank the engine and rebuild. The metal dumped by your old cam wrecked the bearings. You not knowing there was an issue means the metal was likely in the engine for a long period of time destroying bearings and machined surfaces. Basically they should have refused to continue work without doing it properly but ultimately your last cam is probably responsible for the current issue.
