I'm assuming you have an adjustable pushrod and either a solid lifter or a test spring to measure your pushrod length.
What cam are you installing?

Problem wasn't with the camshaft, itself, but with the engine. Karl Ellwein tried two different timing chain/belt setups (one being a Jesel) and two different camshafts and each cam degreed in 8 degrees advances using dot to dot.
He ended up having to use a 6 degree bushing in the RETARD position to bring the cam back into close to the recommended install spec. I have a link to his site if you'd like to read up on all he went through.
I bought my timing chain cover gasket kit from Summit Racing, but I see you've already ordered one.
Sorry for not seeing your question sooner. I'm not getting notified of new responses; what's up with that??

Oh and the cam is a custom grind using XFI lobes. I dont want to tell all but the duration is really small compared to what most people run but we still ended up w .565 lift.
It will increase DCR like mad which is one thing I need at my altitude.
