Broken Camshaft Bearing Mounts!

Well thats the update, I tore into the motor today and all 3 of the mounts are broken. So here is my questions....Does anyone know what could have caused that? Can I just replace the camshaft bearing mounts and move on with my life? Do you think that it tore anything else up? The motor turns freely. Thanks for all your help.

The only time I have seen broken camshaft bearings is when the timing chain either broke or jumped a few teeth. I'd do a leak test before buying any parts.

I'm not sure why you started a new thread when this is a continuation of:

Blew up engine! Need help/advice please.

That has additional info, so people won't be asking you background info. Believe it or not, we might not all remember your old thread, and your details. I know, I know, surprising, but we might not........
And, I would quit turning if for awhile!
