Ah, yes, did miss that, and understand now.

Interestingly enough, I had a few issues with cam bearings, and think I did 2 or 3 sets of bearings in the same block, in a short period of time too. Think the cam bores were out of alignment or maybe it was the actual bearings not in spec.

The last time in that nightmare of doing it over I paid attention to the alignment and installation of the bearings, as well as how tight it felt. I had to pop one out even and replace it. Was good after that.

Not sure if it was tunnel alignment, bearing manufacturing issues, or installation error, but did notice that bearing was slightly mushroomed, guessing from installation. But it might have been a combo of factors.

Some look for high spots in the bearings after test fitting cams (w light coat of oil) and correct them.

I think I have pics from that episode, may even have posted here, I will look, sure I have at least some pics.
