Went ahead and installed the cam(pics)

I decided to install the cam, though a couple of the bushings were a little rough--I do think that the cam will be okay. I did find some shiny metal inside the piston sleeve of the front cylinder....but I really think this cam off of the cam when we were sliding it out---like off the edge--it is very very thin and just looked like a burr or something that might have been on the factory cam. If anyone thinks I did this install wrong just let me know. I aligned the crank sprocket with 4 degrees adv. key and the cam sprocket on 0...I have not rotated the engine to try and line up the cam 0 w/ the crank 0:










Oh and--yes that is a broken bolt off the front of the engine where the cam retainer plate bolts on...I also, listed the only thing I could find on torque specs in either of my manuals---obviously it was too much. I used a grade 8 on the top and a new locking washer/aluminum and I may replace the bottom one too. I was able to put a drift punch on it and rotate it out by tapping.

Here's a closer pic of the shavings:

Don't look like rings or bits of seal---I looked all over the inside of the engine to see where it might of come from and saw nothing. Again it was as the engine was rotated upside down---at the inside of the piston sleeve?
Not at the cylinder wall-- but inside the piston sleeve..Cylinder walls look clean without marring anywhere.

Maybe bits from the valve cover, migrating down?
