no thats not correct. the first cam swap almost a year ago had a lifter fall. i made tools this time to hold them up. all the lifters are there. just making some crazy sound and im trying to figure out what it is. i knew i should have left that pos stock

also how long do you guys think the stock springs will last with the tr227 in it. i had the 212/218 comp in there with the stock springs for prob. 12-15k miles. now i got the stock cam in there but im going to be pulling it back out to see if its messed up and if it is im thinking of throwing the 227 in there.

are your pushrods the correct length? rockers torqued correctly

I dont know man that is alot higher lift cam than stock and the lobes on that cam are alot more aggressive you will be able to tell when the valves are floating but you better back out it immediately. I would just put springs on there if you are going to go to the trouble of putting cam in there or I can send you my 6L cam if that one is messed up Im not going to use it.
