cam tight on reassembly.

during my top end rebuild I sent my cams off for a 964 grind . They came back all black and new looking and sit in there rolled up paper reasy for reassembly.

Now I have found although one of the cams fits in the housing it is fairly tight . I can turn it by hand but with a struggle ( dry without assembly lube. )
the other cam will turn in either housing without any issue at all.

I have reached out to the guy who did the cam grind but thought would seek an opinion here while I am waiting . it seems to bind up on the second journal in ( not that it matters ) as once you pass that with the cam it struggles. again happens on both housings.
Think I need to get the cam relooked at ( I had to have it sent away )or should I slap it in with some assembly lube and move on ?
