yea they are oem cams. my oil pressure went up about 12 psi lsat night once I cracked the valve cover open and noticed that the 2 bolts on the intake side of cap #3 were completely loose. I torqued them down and started the car to see warm idling oil pressure resting between 23-25 psi. which is nearly double what it was before. I took her for a spin and was able to see 75psi easily at 4k rpms.

 

Cool, i saw that thread. Good to see you got that figured out. 2 loose bolts on one cap can do that for sure.

I'm optimistic: if.


The Helms doesn't leave you with too many options.

That said:
There are posts here that mention a mix-n-match of camshafts / heads / caps that run like normal.

So, what's the clearance Clarence?

 

never checked considering when I tightened the cap my oil pressure came back up.
I haven't seen that movie in a loooong time. Classic.

I have an entire head for backup just incase. cams journals caps bolts all that junk.
