Just got back from the dealer...
Now I'm screwed, I took a look at the engine there with the valve cover off.
Guess what the timing belt is not broke, the fricken cam is busted.
Now they gota pull that off and see if the head is damaged, Great!! Seems the journals where the cam rides do not have replaceable bearings so if they are damaged then the head is toast, and so is my pocket book!
It appears that not enough oil was getting up there. Possibly the pump is busted or the screen is clogged.

How is the oil pump driven anyway?
Anyone know where I can get a head cheap?
