[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 17450, member: 98"] i was surprised how well it sounded Dan when i was turning everything by the crank bolt i was oiling everything on the cam lobes and all and the journals were oil good during assembly .....i did a lot of work on the cam before assembly taking out the ridges and edges they seemed excessive to me me and lumpy ....so i went slow somewhat flexible sanding disc and went after it gently ....checking it in the light all the time ....when i thought i got it smooth and rough downed i polished it with some micro sheen sanding film .....did the rockers to .....all i can say right now is that its quiet and that can only mean that it smooth .....what ever breaking in now it dose will be smooth without trauma id think .....it was time well spent on the cams as i trued them up ......time will tell ....but i'm confident about the outcome ..... when it got up to temp it was running so good and smooth that i ran it up in the rpm zone ...it seemed to do okay at lower rpm but maybe not quite as good as the 1100 cams ....from 4000 to 7000 and more it seemed to really take off ....reminded me of a crouch rocket ....it could have been all in my mind cause that what i expected .....right now its running on the 1100 ignition and the 1000 ignition is just a cover for the cam that sticks out.... so Dan i think that prep work on the cam and rockers is mandatory of cam switch to different cam carrier and rockers :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
