A tale of 2 cams

Wrong again Mike, experimentation is your strength. If you experiment and fail AND fail to learn from it then and only then is it a weakness. J.Rob
Thank you, sir!. Appreciate the encouragement.. I learned a lot from this last motor. Now it's going to get redone. Found a pretty nasty scratch on number 8. Smack dead center of the intake side of the cylinder wall.I can barely catch a fingernail on it so I think I'm screwed. Dont know what the heck got in there. Im pretty anal at assembly about dirt and such.

Not sure what happens until my machinist looks at it. Sure don't want to go to 4.060 unless absolutely necessary.
