well i ordered a cam from delta every thing was cool..... so i took the valve trian apart rocker arm assem. still attached put it the new cam started the engine the truck was rolling like a small block but the valves where still tapping so i called delta and i told them about the rocker arm ran out of ajustment they told me to reverse jam nut which i did so i had to take it apart again but this time i did not take apart the timing sprocket or fuel pump, now when i start it it runs like sh** . i checked valves to make sure the rocker arms where not to tight. all i did was change the jam nut was around . could of i bent valves if the rock arms where to tight. does any one known what could of happen? when i start this now i seem like the timing off or some thing and i checked compression it was 145 all around. has any one gone threw this before?

Maybe you should have adjusted the valves to match the new camshaft?

So is it a 260 grind 270 grind or a 280 grind? I was recommended the 270 grind for my application.
