Point is, how are your cam bearings?

I thought of that too. My cam was ground at Delta and the card didnt have much info just the lash,grind number and opening and closings points to check so I called them they said unless other wise specified they would be standard. So I am assuming thats not the issue and it certainly didnt feel at all loose when I installed it.
