Crazy Cam Install Question

Has anyone ever dealt with a cam in which one of the sprocket bolts is not correctly threaded? I am in the middle of my install getting ready to pull the old cam out and I cleaned the new cam up and put some oil on it. Next I tried to install a couple of the waterpump bolts and 2 of 3 threaded in by hand, the third will not (will only go a couple of turns, I did try the sprocket bolts as well, but same thing).

I will contact the vendor tomorrow, but has anyone ever dealt with anything like this?

Thanks

Try taking a tap same size as threads. Run it through to clean them out

Damn misleading thread title. I came in expecting a cam question regarding like a 280/280 108 LSA install.
