Hi. Anybody had trouble fitting an Isky E4 camshaft in a 312? Fitted new cam bearings into block ( Durabond F9A) and tried to fit new camshaft in. Would not even enter the bearings. Measured the cam journals on the E4 and they are 10 thou bigger thaan the old cam. Old cam goes in very easily and turns freely. Do I have a faulty cam or this normal for Isky?
