Daryl,
The new aggressive flat tappet cams have to be broken in with minimal valve spring pressures. I had several cams fail on the break in on the dyno and now send out my cams to Cam Research Co, Englewood Co. Look at their website and note the cam break in machine they have. For $60.00 your break in issues are gone! Every FE I build has this done...ends changing valve springs and defective cams.
