AT one time MB offered an oversize camshaft, but no more. The head that I had to have line bored was a "freebe" from Benzmac that a dealer had screwed-up a timing chain job & the camshaft had seized. I bought 2 new cam bearings from MB & then the machine shop Cut .002-.003" from each of the other caps & then surfaced the top .002-.003" & then line bored the head. Raced that head several seasons!
