[QUOTE="Nigel Spaxman, post: 92779, member: 2907"] Started to put it back together last night. It turned out all the cams had some wear, more than there should be. I didn't replace any of them yet though because I want to make sure the problem is solved first. I have a spare set and an extra set of followers. I stoned the damage off the cams and followers using a diamond hone. Only the one lobe was really bad and on that one I replaced the follower since it had about A .060 deep groove. I cleaned up all the other followers with the hone none of them had indentations more than about .001 deep. I think I need more oil going to the cams, but from what I can see if I put more oil down the front and rear push rod tubes that oil will miss the cams. The oil from the rear tube will go behind the cam and the one on the front tube will go in front of the front one. Only the two middle tubes are pointed right at the cams so I am going to add more holes to those rocker feed bolts. I shortened one push rod. [/QUOTE]
