What do you guys know, is it ok to forgot about it or is this going to form a problem down the line and I should look to get replacement cams?

New cams sound like a good idea. Valve float maybe but I reckon they're just not made right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage is caused by poor manufacture 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
