Carb cleaner or WD 40 will work .

Wipe them dry and coat them with oil --- be sure the journal area is oily upon install . The lobes should be nice and juicy too ... :-)

Opie wait till your "good" cams are done build it once, build it right, build it strong. I don't want any excuses- like "OH my timeings off" You're gonna need a solid motor to run them pesky DS's[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Your wins will be limited to bottle size. Then I'll say SEE YA!!! Theres a Z400 with a 500 Yoshi kit and nos that cant beat Shmee, crazy, or for that matter crazy jr. So don't get your hopes up too high about HOW bad you'll beat them. It might not be as one sided as you think.
