Ross, Thanks for letting us know.
If you have not already done so I would suggest adding a bottle of General Motors Engine Oil Supplement for the breaking in of the new cam.(or something else used for that purpose)
Note second post-are all valves moving up and down. This sounded like a clasic case of worn cam lobes from the beginning.

Hello Gene I thought I had the proper valve action but was mistaken, live and learn. I used to work in a Chevy dealership in the 60's and use EOS then and put a bottle in now for good measure plus I used GM cam lube when we installed cam. I let it run for about a 1/2 hour at 2000 RPM to break in cam. Thanks again Ross

"pour some marvel mystery oil on both valves and while your buddy is turning the engine over slowly, take a brass headed hammer and tap the valve stems/rockers. repeat this for 10 or 15 minutes and the valve(s), if stuck, may free up . good luck, mike What is the mystery oil named, and where to get it, please?

It is called "Marvel Mystery Oil" and we can get it at just about any auto parts store here in the USA.  :) :grin:
