that's fine I just wanted to explain myself why im doing what I am . I haven't cut the camshaft yettttttttttt - I gave Crow cams the specs of the engine and told them what im doing and asked for a cam grind in a solid the specs they gave me were a lot smaller than the hydraulic that's in it. Im not going to use that grind as im sure it will make less power than the merc one as they would of done a lot of testing to get the cam rite .What I plan to do is to get the cam read and find a grind something close or a touch bigger in a solid .I have a heap of grinds that I got done on paper just need to choose one. I have in the past had the face of lifters reground with more radius to help break in of the cam I have seen lobes wearing of days after they were installed. I do want to go solid mainly because I had to buy push rods and rollers for the head and I wont be going fishing everyday . so if I need to adjust them once a year it wont be a problem
