I won't really know until I remove the heads and check it out. About the oil, I used 20w-50w castrol and cam lube that cam with the cam. Thanks again for all relies, Later Kirk.
This is just my opinion. but I doubt it is the guides. I would start checking installed hight.. Whats that factory spacer thing on the ex valves.. I want to call it a rotator... What ever thoughs darn things are called.... they need to be thrown away. I killed three cams in a week with z-28 springs and thats what it was 280/480 comp cam
