Alrighty bud.. just very frustrating in my head on what to do now exactly. Should I sell this motor and go and get a marine engine?.. or should I just change the cam out? Afraid of what else I might be missing

Is the motor fully installed in the boat with exhaust, or does it look like this

Then you can do it real easy.
Remove the balancer, timing chain cover, intake and valve covers.
Remove rockers, push rods, lifters and cam
Remove cam
Rotate crank so ID mark is straight up
Install cam, cam gear and chain so the cam gear ID mark faces crank mark
Install lifters, push rods
Rotate crank and one by one adjust rockers on push rods
Put the rest back together
Edit: do use lube on all bearing journals, and soak lifters prior to install

Is there a way I could send you this video bud? That way you can hear it?... because it definitely has a different cam in the v8 that I pulled out, sounded great. It didn’t have exhaust, but it is a video with it out of the water.
