When I was taking the engine apart there was some stiffness in getting the cam to move until I unbolted it. On my work-bench, the cam and towers I've yet to put on stands flat on the fore and aft tower witht the middle 3 hovering just off the surface (perhaps ~1mm eyeballing) Before I took that cam off, I just barely needed the wrench to spin it (ditto on the cam I've already installed). On the table I can rotate it with my thumb and forefinger with very little effort. I figure I'm only doing the engine favors I can minimize that much resistance in the towers and decrease the moment applied to the shaft of the cam. If I can find steel sheets thin enough I can cut out the shims myself. Would a Home Depot or Checker or someplace like that carry thin guage steel sheets? The thinnest I remember seeing at anyplace like that was .1-inches, way to thick for my purposes.

I appreciate the input!
