    Alright pulled the rocker cover off. I'll dig in deeper once i figure out what bolts are bolting what down. But heres the photos.

    Nothing looks absirdly off. There is water under this cover though. almost looks like condensation. I'll leave the cover off for a bit so it can hopefully evaporate. Most of the oil in this is from when I change it and added the full amount as per the manual. Will probably have to strain this oil after i get this fixed, but hopefully it won't be in vain if it all helps it get loose again.

    The front two bolts holding the (camshaft?) shaft in are severly rusted, everything else looks fine.
    I have also noticed some pretty heavy wear on some of the lobes. Is this normal wear or signs of abuse and in need of replacement?
