Cam cover off

I got the cam cover off and i’m not going to lie, it looks perfect in there. it’s got 124k so there’s a little bit of wear marks on the cams and lifters but nothing catastrophic. no metal in the oil....

They found nothing in the gas tank. Looks like it’s just a really bad coincidence. they want $500 to do a bore scope and i just don’t know if it’s worth it at this point. Don’t know what to do :(
