Nope. Cam is junk. Lifters are junk. Oil pump is junk. Pistons? questionable if they can be saved. rod and main bearings, rings. All junk.
The problem is getting lifters that will last. Coating does not work. Tool steel on certain cams won't work. Seems only thing that will work (sometimes) are 15 year old lifters that are not available anymore.
