I went to a Trade School for 4 years and this is a Joke for sure. Please give me the Instructors name and the name of the School? It's Impossible that this kind of thing is happening no one is aware of it. Total Scam. lol lol

the thing i dont get is, there is OBVIOUSLY something very wrong. and instead of trying to find the issue (it can only be 1 of a few different things) you are trying to beat the cam in with a hammer?! every cam ive ever installed slides right in by hand. check and double check the bearings and the lobes etc. how far does it go in before it stops? thats a good indication of where the problem is.......

im shocked i even had to type this.

I finally convinced my instructor to just get new cam bearings. He said "It cost me 100 dollars"... Those better be coated and made of gold for that price hahaha
