i was giving my buddy my old cams and upon installation of the cam chest it seemed to not seat by hand with about 1/4" gap to seat. we pulled it out, checked and double checked all o-rings, bolts, etc, and verified there was nothing hanging up. it seemed like it just wasn't quite aligned perfectly. so we SUPER SLOWLY and SUPER GENTLY starting torquing in the tightening pattern and then it went POP and seated.
we rotated everything and it turned smooth. it sounded like it just wasn't going in straight enough then at the end adjusted itself. it didn't sound like something broke it sounded more like it wasn't aligned. we also made sure to clean and chase al threads and bolts before install. in the end all bolts torqued to spec and it seems fine. def had me a little worried though.
anyone else ever had this happen? something to worry about?
