Yup mine was ground so out of spec it created 0psi oil pressure and did a shit load of damage! Thats why i've gone back to kent with my new build and had no issues.

WTF??
How did that happen mate, and how can a incorrectly ground profile effect your oil pressure?
Karl Norris did tell me that they went through a patch of receiving out of spec kits, IIRC it was the lifters that were wrong.
But they at least produce cams/lifters from good quality blanks.... which is something!
