This "problem" is in no way the customer's issue, a "better" machine shop would
ALWAYS try a cam in the block after installing new cam brgs
BEFORE sending it down the road!
Seen this many, many times over the years, sometimes a customer will assemble the entire short block and THEN try the cam, really, really bad idea!
Since Tony is doing regrinds it's likely NOT the cam, but some where more in the brgs themselves OR the hole sizes in the block??
(Add) Take this as a "tip", the very first item to check when the job is delivered is the cam fit! We try a cam in EVERY block we do BEFORE it ever leaves the shop, this is "etched-in-stone" here!
Thanks, Gary in N.Y.
P.S. Most of these Flatheads have their cam holes on the "larger" side of the dimension, this is NOT a "backyard" fix here, it should definitely go back to the shop that installed them!!
