I've had 2 issues with Jim/s tools.. My cam installer has one threaded hole for the bearing install that is off a little.. Enough that it drags when the bearing starts to go in.. I have to loosen the plate screws to keep thing from binding. I've probably done 5 different motors and it's always been the same. Second item is a rod end reamer. It reams the hole too large by 0.001 or 0.002.

I have an EVO cam degreeing tool that is off by a couple - 3 degrees.. That might be the cam tho.

That's a bummer. The whole point of spending the big dollar for Jim's would be for perfection.
