Don,

I'll send you and Earl pics.I'm not going to get into the arguement over 
bushing the lifter bores.You have your way for priority oiling,I have 
mine.Let's leave it at that.

The original cam was a Scotty Brown/Straightline custom grind.The second 
cam in the block was the RB STX-20.The third cam is a Comp custom.Both 
the first and third cam fit perfectly.The second did not.If the problem 
was with the lifter bores,none of the cams would've worked.It's that 
simple.

Again,the shop that did the CNC'ing has probably done a hundred blocks 
with no problems.Now,maybe back in the day with old equipment and a BHJ 
Lifter-True it might have been a handful to bush lifter bores 
correctly,but not with a Rottler F65A.

I'll also make you a deal.After you see the pics,you pick up the ROUND 
TRIP shipping and you can inspect this cam in any stock block you like 
at your own house.It is currently making the rounds between builders 
here in Denver.
