[QUOTE="JoniX, post: 203690, member: 3763"] I redid the plastigage test with only one plastigate on top of the cam, and this time it showed 0,076 mm on the worst spot and 0,051 mm on the best. However there definitely are an out-of-round-problem, as the cam cap won't fit properly over the camshaft (or well, it did after I torqued everything, but it would not move at all). It's actually the left and right side that's tight and not the top, so perhaps the plastgate test would be even tighter without the out-of-round. Any ideas of what to do? Sand the cam cap sides down a bit, or would a machine shop have to do it? Would it be foolish of me to replace just the cam cap and put the rest back? Thank for the info! [/QUOTE]
