engine recall

Hi, I am new to the group.  Looking to possibly purchase a Catalina 36.  I came across a comment about 1997-2000 engines being recalled, but did not state what the problem was.  Can anybody on this site give me the back story?

Also, I am a former owner of a Catalina 380, from 2001 to 2006.  Was a fulltime liveaboard from 2004-2006.  Was a great experience and a very good boat.

I have an older boat, but what you are asking about might be a problem discussed in this thread concerning failure on the cam shafts in certain models:

Thanks Matthew.  I think this is what I was looking for.
