My engine is going together, and the head has been mounted and torqued.
The Valves and guides have not bee changed on this head, it was checked
by a machine shop and certified as straight and good.
I bought a set of used cams from a 7MGTE that were in better shape than
the ones I had. They were installed along with a new set of lifters.
When the cams are on their base circle there is over an 1/8th in of
clearance between the cam and lifter. When you try to rotate the cams
the hit they hit the lip on the edge of the lifter and will not turn.
The Cams will not spin, it is slightly odd. We are going to check the
old cams to see how they fit up compared to these new ones. We do not
believe that either set of cams was ever modified.
Thanks for any help,
Craig
