Yea,I used the rods to install the cam on my car,with no problems..We grinded down the rod and it went in,now with both rods in,if we spin the cam,you can still feel some movement from the lifters,like the cam lobes are barely hitting it,the rods will not go any further...Will this be a problem if we go ahead and pull the cam?????
