Hi Hugh,
Randall had the same thought on the cam plug being in too far. That isn't it.
I
can easily push the cam into the block an 1/8" or so past where it rests when
the
keeper is in place.
I'll trim the keeper down a bit and see what happens. Do you mean shave the
entire surface of the keeper, or just taper the edge where it contacts the cam?
