I'll cut the story and get sraight to the steak and potatoes. Camshaft bolt sheared off on drivers side cam. I was able to get the broken half out but unfortunately I accidently botched the threads. While I'm in taking eveything apart what else should I do while i'm in there?
I already tried to tap the treads but to no avail. I was about to thread to a larger thread size but I think its best to keep everything stock.

I have a used 3.0L cam in good condition if you need it. It has some visible surface wear in a few spots of I recall correctly but hard to tell with a fingernail.
If interested, PM me and I'll see if I can arrange a few digital photos for you in the next few days.

does the cam still turn in the head. The only time I ever seen a cam bolt brake like that if the cam seizes in the head. Mitsu 4g63t have that problem some times. I would check to see if the cam did seize.
