Hi D J


The Cam had about 3-4 thou "wear"...The Cam I have in the Engine now is about the same... & No noise ?...Here's something I didn't know till recently The center cam Brg Is the only part of the A engine that has "Pressure". And that's the part that seemed to wear over the year's ??



I know what you are talking about the center cam brg making noise...This noise was Tappet sound's front & back of the engine, not just the center "Area"..This cam was a 28 five brg,,So it was stronger than the latter 3 brg as far as flexing..


I had it in a 28 block that was in the A when I got it year's ago...Like I said quiet as a mouse,,,& was running the original "Script lifter's"...


I sold the 28 block & the 28 cam that I had reground went with it...Never heardback how it rand ???



Thank's guy's for your help
