Whats wrong with the cam? more than likely if your cam ate the bucket, your journals/caps probably did too. Just hunt down a new head. You could probably pick one up for cheap if you looked hard/long enough.

The cams just snap if you dont change the oil enough.

I've tossed in a new cam and the motor just kept on ticking.
I used to have shit like this laying around but F d-series motors.

I bought the car as is sits. Basically the cam was snapped off at the pulley. I figured he has over tightened the bolt. The issue is that I cant find a 1.5 8v cam, can someone point me the right direction?

check out redpepperracing.com, there was a guy selling an 8v head w/ cam for like $20.

You have an HF? D15B6? I think you can swap to a 16v head. Start googling.
