Damn, never heard of a cam snapping on an N/A 2.2L. Try to find a used one cause new ones cost (as I'm sure you know) a bundle.

all i have to say is this shows up how fragile our camshafts really are.

i have heard about broken crank shafts before but no cam shafts... revise my reply at the other topic you made and see what i think your problem is.
