I've got the engine out and after spending a lot of time drilling out numerous stuck bolts (man, they really torque those cam cover bolts in there!), I got the driver's side cam cover off. Looks like I'm gonna need some cam cover bolts in addition to the camshaft bolts that hold the chain gears on. The cam cover itself is a little damaged also from where he tried to get the stuck bolts off.

I'm gonna take some pictures of the view into the exhaust and intake ports in the head and post them, you can see part of the valves. It doesn't look like they're damaged, although I can't see the whole valve. I'm gonna try carefully turning the cams on the drivers side to get the valves to go up and down and see if they seat properly.
