Camshaft falls out of place predator 212 harbor freight

I don't see any thing out of the ordinary but at this point you need to make sure both valves are where they are supposed to be, as in not laying on top of a piston. If thats good then I would disconect the rod,push it all the way up out of the way and remove the crank. Check case bearings etc... You def have a serious issue in that motor.

How do I check if the valves aren't on top of a piston?

Pull valve cover off and you will be able to see the valve stem through the valve spring. Also while valve cover is off,spin motor and see that both rocker arms are working correctly. If a rocker arm has fallen off or push rod has broke that means a valve isn't opening correctly which means every time you turn over the motor it's on a compression stroke.

It looks like your hitting the same stopping point with spinning both directions. First pull the flywheel cover off and try rotating by hand. If it does the same thing pull the valve cover and check for bad valve.

Pull the fan shroud off and dig the missing bit out of the flywheel and then all will be better.
