I wasn't refering to timing when I said alignment, I apoloigize for not better stating my question. My question is more rooted in the alignment of the cam towers in relation to each other so that the camshaft spins as freely as possible. I recently had my heads done by a machine shop and am in the process of building the motor back up. I could be imagining things but the cam I have on now doesn't seem to spin as freely as it used to (right side cam and all towers placed where they were initially). They definatly don't spin as freely as they do when the towers and cam are on the table (spins with light twist by fingers, vs using a wrench now). I would like to re-adjust my towers so that the vertical component of pinch thats being applied to the camshaft is minimized.

Perhaps I need to find thing guage steel or aluminum and cut my own shims to raise the height as appropriate?
