Solid cam damage diagnosis help

Did you mention the .007 taper to either Hughes or Engle?

I think you’ll be fine with the Engle.

Still check the taper, and to verify the taper is staggered before installing.
Haha yes, Hughes just scoffed at the fact and Engle said someone must be smoking something to put Chevy taper on a Mopar LOL. Definitely will check taper from here on. Like I said as much as I want the vehicle running I also want to learn from this. PRH and all others you guys have been VERY helpful
