While my dad was driving he saw the oil light on so he stop buy a auto shop and topped up the oil...5 miles later the car stalled...we towed it to the mechanic..they saw that the oil filter was not there...(no one has any idea how it feel out) because the oil was due to change in one month and it was connected to the car the day before since we used it for over 3 hours...now they topped up the oil added a filter and the car did not start...so they did a car scan and got a code about the timing..so they opened the camblock to find that the camshaft and the block was damage...so my question from the pictures i posted do i need just a new camshaft or do i need the whole block too? you would see a ring on the inside of the block to the first part hold the shaft.

The oil filter fell off and the engine quit from lack of oil.
You're looking at a new engine here.

You would need a camshaft and the cylinder head. If the top end bearings are damaged, more than likely there is going to be damage on the lower end. Maybe you should drop the old pan and take a look at the bottom end bearings. It is also possible that you can have ring, skirt or bore damage, so you might want to consider installing another engine.
You should also shoot that last person that did the oil change. I'd like to know how the filter fell out since it is a cartridge filter.
Also tell your Dad the next time a low oil pressure light comes on, pull off the side of the road and turn the engine off. Don't drive it with the oil light on looking for a store to buy some oil. If he had to dump 4 quarts in, something is way wrong and he should of looked underneath the vehicle. He might have saved the engine, but too late for that.
Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
