Really appreciate all the information. Took the timing cover off today, just a little slack in the chain, but it is getting changed. Dropped the pan as well, rod end caps are number stamped. Oil pan has very little sludge and no mystery debris at all. We are thinking that it was rebuilt at some point.

In a perfect world I'd go ahead and change the cam, but finances right now make it difficult. I'm going to get a gasket set obviously, but probably go with the current cam and hope for the best.
