I have a 2000 SOHC Windsor with a broken timing set. The motor did run for a few seconds with low oil pressure. I am breaking the motor down to see what is salvageable.
The timing set is toast (broken tensioners and guides) and have been removed. The roller followers have been removed so the cam can be moved without damaging anything.
Note, the motor was still in time when it died.
The cam shaft can not be rotated by hand. I can rotate by using a tool against the cam gear. How much effort should it take to rotate the cam shaft without the valves?
I suspect I already know the answer that the cam shaft has been galled from not having enough oil.

Wishful thinking.
