Maybe you’ll be surprised, because with 0.5 gasket under number 2 cylinder and torqued per the spec sheet, the cam is spinning freely. Calling it done.
Again I’m ruling out your speculation on the cam housing sealant. Why? Because I could measure a difference with a straight edge between cylinders 2 and 3. Noted about 0.25 mm, part of which was due to the difference in thickness of the VR gaskets, the rest perhaps due to difference in the used 98 mm cylinders.
Maybe the case is warped after 115 miles (an SC with a warped case?)? Don’t know, don’t care. I wasn’t planning on touching this engine because it was fine, but well the wife wanted me to paint it, so I pulled the engine to paint, then do the valve guides and head studs (none broken) and it ballooned from there. So if the case was warped before I started, it did not effect performance any.
