Thank you for letting me join. I am building a 68 Formula S Cuda, started on a rotisserie and now getting close to finish

:welcome: to the forum. Do the shafts spin freely in the bush before engaging the cam gear? Some bushing come loose, others come tight and need to be burnished/sized with a special tool. these are what I prefer.
We`ll assume the oil pump turns freely?
good luck
Yes, the shafts spin freely. I even checked the shaft in the bushing before installation and after.
