Joe,
You didn't mention where your cam is timed, but a couple degrees
advanced or retarded makes a difference in the P/V clearance. Lots of
guys have installed cams without all of the checking but I wouldn't take
the chance, as the risk far outweighs the time savings. In my case it's
always the things I was aware of but tried to shortcut that caused the
biggest headaches.
