[W126 Coupe] 380 Cam Shafts

[A figment of the Imagination]

I am hoping that I can get the camshafts for a better
price.  The reason I say this is that I actually found
a D63 (passenger side) camshaft for $85 a few months
ago.  I think that this is a fair price, given how old
our cars are now.  
  
In my opinion, unless camshafts are new, $235 is still
very high, at least for me.  Right now, getting a new
camshaft, for me, would be a really bad idea, given I
have stripped out journal threads in my passenger side
engine header.  There may be a big risk of damaging
these new cams until these two journal bolt socket
threads are re-tapped for an extremely good fit and no
play in the cams, with no lifter noise.

I just wish I knew how to re-tap these threads better
and how to turn my engine over easier.
