Message cams ? Only with the 500's. I believe the issue is the valve choice and the base circle issue in combination. In the machineshops defence i originally gave them 400's when the heads were put together. If they checked with that they would be in spec and i had no noise. I then swapped in the 500's and have a light noise. Anyhow ripping it all apart :)

Here is what i found searching the net.
"JWT cams are ground on new genuine Nissan billets, so mismatched cam metallurgy with the accompanying excess wear is avoided. Since the cams are ground on new billets, the base circle can be set wherever it is needed. On the 300ZX, high-lift cam lobes can actually contact part of the head, so JWT reduces the base circle about 0.020-inches to prevent clearance problems. This is still within the tolearances of the hydraulic lash adjusters, so the cam is still a direct drop-in. To reduce the chance of valve float at high rpm, JWT installed some of its high-tension valve springs to keep the valvetrain happy."

This is from an old modified mag. Link >>
