replacing the camshaft entials the same amount of detailed work that it takes to replace the lifter: you MUST remove the camshaft to replace the lifters so it if the camshaft(s) are bad, then it's the same amount of work. But, of course, much more expensive.

But, for one last time, I don't think that you need to do that. My procedure in the last post is worth a try; just start with 2) and finish with 3). However, you will WASTE a lot of time if there is a BAD tube.
