    Kinda negative experience with summit

    Agreed. I've had more Edelbrock stuff delivered than I can remember and it always came in their nice boxes....

    Lubricate cam bearing od at install

    Yessir...dry hump 'em all the way!:D I bought a Lisle-brand tool years ago, and of course became 'cam bearing guy' lol...and have never had an issue after install doing them dry. Oh sure, I've had to scrape and/or use the cutter cam, and sometimes I might smooth a little chamfer on the journals...

    Better to be "too tall" and "too tight", that just means they left you room fer fittin'! Too short or loose and you'da been hosed. Cutting metal is easy; putting it back not so much!:rolleyes:
