Interesting question. That's an interesting mix of parts, which suggests either a builder who knew his stuff, or an owner who scattered parts at it. How does it ride? If it rides well then leave it as it is!

If nothing is leaking, leave it alone.....That cam is very similar to a woods w-8 and with the rest of the build sounds likes it's a pretty good match depending on valve sizes. That 80"er should produce 90+ hp and torque. I'm sure it pulls well from 3k on to 5500. If it feels good I wouldn't do anything but maintain it well and ride....
