Hello, all... I just installed a new VX cam from IPD, and their new adjustable cam gear. It is running rough at first, when I first start it, but within a minute or two, it smooths out considerably... but still has a bit more vibration than I would like... I was thinking my timing with the distributor may be a tooth off, so I was going to try to adjust it once the weather warms up a little, but I was also wondering, since it settles down a bit, if it may be the fact that I did not reshim my valves...? If so, should I continue to run with the new cam, or switch back?
