This is why I didn't post for quite a while.
I'm not giving you advice, I'm using your thread to learn.

The most highly stressed part of the typical Continental/Lycoming air-cooled airplane engine is the surface between cam and lifter.
The only way to look at the cam is to pull a cylinder or three.
The only way to replace a worn cam is to split the crankcase open. Pretty much complete engine disassembly.

I like hearing the responses from car guys that can ignore aviation requirements.
