1 - I AGREE maybe more pronounced on the RIGHT? Even in the garage sounds louder on the right.... again leaning to valves....

2 - Cams LOOKED good. IS there a spec out there for what the measurement of what the cam should be; like a caliper spread? I doubt they would be wore down that much unless it was MAJOR wear?

Again mechanic buddy thought the plates / valves were "smacking" the cam lobes vs. rolling on them?

Its idling great and STARTING much better! HARD revving is getting a little backspitting... mechanic buddy said she was running LEAN and agreed to valves... Plugs looked good, a bit dry but still good.

I got lazy today and I guess I need to do an "open" video out of the garage sound. I have a cam chain "how to" in the works..... still early..... and it has my warranty..... 30 seconds or 30 feet your choice.....
