Message	cam still in motor. I will probably do a write up. I have a few pics and videos. Just have not found time to do it yet. And yes Mitch is right, you need to check your TIR. In fact I now highly recommend anyone building an engine to check the TIR. There are several unanswered questions with mine, some that will never be answered because my original parts are no longer available.
