Yea, he pretty much did. Proform. I told him that I couldn't get it to idle below 1500 and it seemed to be running rich. After I put it on again it was a lot better but not quite there so he told me to backing out all 4 fuel air mixture screws until it sounded right. I backed them all out about 5/8 o a turn.

56. CD418Stroker: The Farmguy team has finally started to assemble this one. n2oJoe provided the fuel to get us through the day. We may have had a couple bottles of wine to help us along as well. IMG_4319 by Rick Jones, on Flickr Had to make a couple of tools to get through this one. Used a old cam to make a cam bearing shaver out of. The Lunati cam was not going in to the King cam bearings without taking some material off. The stock one wouldn't fit either so I had to slowly push it in and save the bearings at the same time. I went back and polished the bearings with a real fine flapper drum. When we went to degree the cam, we couldn't get my indicator to reach down far enough to reach the roller lifters. We haven't tried it yet but we got a little creative with a old pair of roller lifters. IMG_4320 by Rick Jones, on Flickr

I cut slots more on the side of the cam journals, not across the face. Basicall take a small diameter disc and cut into the corner,( where the chamfer is ) to about 1/4 deep... That way the shavings cut out cleaner and not imbed in the bearings. Gives em more of a way out, and the uncut bearing surface of the journal pilots through the operation... put a bolt in the snout to slowly turn it in with a wrench... very light feed pressure. Dont forget to wrap up the lobe section on your “ reamer” with tape. anyways This is how it is now with all cam bearings, no matter what box they come in they are all the same from one manufacturer.

I will try that. I cut this one in the wrong direction anyway so I will re-cut it on the other side.

I wonder what the factory used or if they ever had to “ line bore” cam bearings.

Rude and crude but, I am running out of fuel pump accentrics. I ended up with 3 of the two-piece style that are missing the inside part. So I made one out of a old distributor gear via die grinder cut-off wheel and belt sander. IMG_4388 by Rick Jones, on Flickr
