I took the old cam spun it no noise at all.
When I installed the new cam and spun it it soungs like its grinding
.Is this normal?
I'm hoping its just cause theres no oil in there yet

If you are going to try and compare the sounds of the bearings you need to simulate the exact situation with both cams.
If the cam you pulled out was oiled, oil the second cam. I sure as hell hope you installed it with some assembly lube, if not you are going to have some problems.
You may want to check and see if there is some dirt or debris on the cam.
If the cam bearings are worn bad you will be able to see the color of the bearing itself (not the coating), its pretty obvious.

This is my first install.You can never be too carefull right.
The noise was tha cam rubbing either on the cam sensor or the back of the block.I didnt have the cam gear on and it was pushed back too far
Installed the cam gear and no noise smooth as a whislte
