The new one did cost me something like 250€ directly at a dealer in Germany.

have any of you ever heard of a bent camshaft? my mechanic just called me...he was timing the camshafts and reported 1 out of the 4 would not turn. he said he doesn't want to give me the car with a camshaft that is questionable. i'm going to order the part now, but I find it very odd that a camshaft that was operational would be bent. i don't doubt him at all as he's one of my close friends, just seeing if you guys have ever heard.
UPDATE:
false alarm all is good.

picking up car today. this is a video I took of the engine earlier as I stopped by to talk to my buddy and pay for his services. I do need a full engine steam clean and detailing.
I asked him to gather all the replaced parts so I can take photos for reference. Also asked him to add two bottles of Ceratec before I return to pick up my car.. Expect an update soon with those photos.

Thanks for the video ! Happy to see your engine is running again.
I also like to hear your engine has this slight ticking noise I always found suspicious when I got my car at the beginning. Shows there nothing wrong about it and it's just normal. In my experience though, the ticks are less audible with Mobil 1 0w40.
