Snipped from touma.com website, may relate:

Typical problem in these engines is highly worn-out camshaft on cylinder number 1. This happens when the oil lubrication tube above the camshaft is installed upside down by mistake. This happens more often than one would believe!


FIRST TWO ROCKER ARMS AT THE FRONT OF ENGINE ARE BROKEN. ECCENTRICS BROCKE RIGHT OFF. HOW DO YOU PULL THE HEAD OFF ANY THING SPECIAL I SHOULD KNOW.???? ALSO WHAT WOULD CAUSE SUCH FAILURE???? I USE CASTROL FULL SYN 5W-50 AND DO REGULAR CHANGES. ANY WEB SITES BOOKS OR POST WOULD REALLY HELP ME AND AT THIS POINT SHOULD I FIX IT OR JUNK THE ENGINE THANKS??????
