[QUOTE="Brian Thompson, post: 44190, member: 2745"] Thank you for your responses. I decided to call Terry this afternoon. I guess I could have done that first. But I don't like to annoy him any more than I need too. Terry agreed with what Roy stated and that is, the original set-up can be made to fit with some careful preparation.He gave me some advice as usual and I'm happy to go ahead with that. Thanks again brt650 Just for future reference if your going to fit some of these cams,(whether they are the last set available or not) be prepared to trim the inside of the timing chest to give the new type followers travel clearance.The areas around the rear cylinder inlet follower and the front cylinder inlet follower. And don't forget to relieve the rear cylinder exhaust follower for clearance of that cylinders camshaft wheel.If you look at the originals you will see that they have been relieved in that area. Hope that makes sense? Also purchase the new Socket Head Tappet Adjuster's ET27V3 or it's equivalent for added clearance in the tappet covers. [/QUOTE]
