i cant get the cams to rest perfect against the journals.. (think that's the right terminology...)

aren't they supposed to rest in there kind of snug?

thanks..

it should rest but for them to rest snug requires for them to be bolted down by the brackets first. I just aligned the exhaust cam dot about 12 degrees and the intake cam dot around 11 degrees. Put cam brackets on, handtighten in the order the FSM says to do. THen the cams will seat themselves.
