i used assembly lube until i realized it was about 20 years old then i went to 30 weight oil on the other cam. they are tightened down within spec (72 to 108 in/lbs or 8.8 ft/lbs max)
all the journals and caps are lubricated and the cam contact points too. the caps are in order, and were marked out as they were removed. nothing is out of place.
the cams are a bit looser feeling on the head i havent touched yet but i can still turn the cams a little bit that i have changed (i can turn them until the lifters start to restrict)
anyhow, its about 30% tighter i'd say than the other ones..... is this normal?
