Here we go! Although there are many who will disagree No sence typing out the proper method of getting it to run right with my two fingers then! Good luck
Thank you, but my point is I don't want to turn this into a debate over manifold v. ported. Your initial question of why I would run manifold sounded to me like you were implying I shouldn't be doing it. As far as not typing out your "proper" method maybe there are others reading this that might benefit from it. I posted here before with my issues and followed advice and have taken it to others for their opinions and it keeps resulting in cam selection. Experimentation is no longer an option at this point in time. The engine was removed yesterday and is on the stand. Thanks, again.

Stepson just replaced a 284/484 with a Comp XE268H. First ride had him gigglin'. Great street cam. For more details P M jlhram. Ron

Stick with this cam if in the unlikeley event you cant get the idle right cam install just means taking out the rad and maybe the grill
Thanks again. As it true as this is in my case it is not an option since there would be no way I could possibly return the engine to the level of detail it has and I want to maintain. See attachment. In other words, touching up the paint will look touched up. Also, even though the preload is proper the valvetrain still sounds noisy and I was told this was due to cam design, true?
