Most of this is my being the first.
I should not have spent any time or effort measuring the stock cams.
Also having never adjusted valves on this engine before I should not have bought tapered gauges- I should have bought angled gauges.
Now that I have measured numerous times I am intentionally bending the feelers so I don’t rub the head or have drag from flex.
If everything works out OK, people will be able to buy these cams and do a single measure and adjust and be back on the road (after adjusting fueling)...
So far so good as far as anything critical.

Basically I am putting trust into a cam company that has decades of experience. Told them what the engine is, they measured the stock cams and told me what they could do.

Thanks for confirming the buckets were well looked after and also interesting to see what the measurements are after the new cams have run in after some time.
Don't think you are the only one with some problems, electronics and radio is an ongoing journey in finding faults and needs some very expensive equipment to find a problem with a 2$ part, sometimes seems not worth it and this is when you are lucky to have friends with the right test gear to overcome these problems but mostly it's just experience and knowing where to look, tricks help too!
