    How do you know its had cam work?? Depending on what you mean by rebuilding are you talking new pistons rebuilt heads or just changing gaskets?

    when i did mine earlier this year it was a minor rebuild no major work done....

    new .40thou oversize pistons
    new lifters
    new valve seals and springs (valves just lapped and reseated)
    new lifters
    new timing chain and tension-er
    cam, crank and balance shaft all pretty much just got cleaned up nothing replaced, and that pretty much all i did
