Valves are not moving, engine turns over just fine, not making any strange noises. suspect the cam gear but not sure. any help before I tear into it would be appreciated.

I assume you took the cover off to see rockers. Do push rods move at all? Is piston moving?

 

[justee]

piston does what it is supposed to do......

 

[justee]

No....the pushrods don't move at all.....

Assuming the push rods are actually in their cam follower sockets, unlikely both would come out at same time but check, you have a tear down job at hand. Sounds like cam shaft broke, or more likely, cam shaft gear.
