Well ..feel a little more confident. Removed my cams today and found timing was off between them as I suspected.(1 tooth on the exhaust).The chain wasn't set up correctly as well. Some pics of cams and badly worn ramps. Some questions.
How does the pic of the lifter look....looks good to me?
Torque specs for: solenoid to actuator ?
Actuator to Cam Housing ?
Cam Cover 9.5
Bearing Saddles 7.5
Sprocket 10 + 10% so 11.5 (I read it didn't do the math)

Is it necessary to use loctite on all the bolts? They seem to have a green coating on them. If so green wicking?
I imagine I should do the other bank considering the shape of rails on bank 2(also intake notch was not at 3 o'clock)
I tested the solenoid with 12v the pin was pushed out only about a 16th of an inch then it started smoking??? Had oil in it as well.
