Hello, due to this excellent forum, I am installing SE 255 Cams in my ride.
I have come across one issue that I would like to get an opinion on.
When installing the cam plate with a new oil pump O ring and making sure the other 2 o rings were in the proper position, I noticed that I could not close the approximate 1/8 inch gap on the left side on the case/cam plate junction.
I looked and all seemed fine. I threaded the cam bolts to torque via the service manual.
The bolts on the left side took very little pressure to snug the cam plate to the case...So, I proceeded with installation. I figured this was just the pump O ring needed a little pressure to seat..
Does this seem normal, or do I need to remove and look for something?
Thanks!
P.S Inner cam bearings installed with ease and depth was triple checked via service manual specs..
