2.76 open to 3.55 Sure Grip...expectations too high?

you better check the cam lobes.
Oh boy, that's an ominous statement, considering I just lost a cam after my first rebuild. This is the second cam, and I've been hyper-vigilant in watching & listening for the same signs I saw before. I can't quite tell but I might be making myself think there's a tick near 6 or 8, but I can't nail it down. Even with a stethoscope.
