Ev27 cam replacement trouble
I think if you're confident you have the bearing correctly seated, and you've inspected the cam and can verify that the gear is seated on the shoulder, and you can bump the cam back and forth with the cover bolted on (ie, it's not binding up), you're probably good to go.
It's almost certainly not a problem, but double check that the inner most cam lobe is clear of the case through it's full rotation.

It's always good to rotate the engine (at least one complete revolution) by hand to check for any unforeseen problems, BEFORE starting for the first time after any internal engine work.
Not sure if it was mentioned, but often forgot (or lost during disassembly), did you reinstall the little nylon spacer for the breather gear? It goes between the plastic breather and the cam cover. The reason I ask, is they can get stuck on the cam cover during disassembly and never noticed. It looks like a little off white nylon washer about an inch in diameter. Just a heads up.
