So I found that that casting defects in the cam caps can cause issues with aftermarket cams. I'm glad I hand spin tested first as you should with any mechanical system. A little gentle dremel action will take care of it. This was the first one too! :rolleyes:

OMG!!! :lol: I always thought that would be a good additive down the oil stick hole for someone deserving! Never met anyone that deserving yet though! :D

Only crower stage 2 sc cams btw with .475 lift. ;)
