Who did the thermostat housing replacement? They likely screwed up the cam sprocket when they redid the timing.

wow on that cam pulley. Wonder if somebody used a hammer or prybar to try and break the pulley free from the cam.

I did and used special 4arm puller secured to the center of the sprocket.
