anyone used comp cams 828-16's

It's very individual. Some blocks will need the clearancing. Some won't. And that's down to the individual pairs. So the only way to know is drop them in and see if they hit and clearance as required. Or - if you haven't bought them, the sets from IMM or MRL seem to drop in an have addressed possible oiling issues too.

i bought the cam and lifters as a kit, i dont have them yet but there on there way from the USA. wont see them for another week or so.
