If you have the spring loaded tensioners there will definitely be some resistance. I also have a '00 with 570 cams and did the the hydraulic tensioner upgrade and when the cams & cam plate are installed it had slight resistance. My cam lobes didn't hit the case, but you should double check, all installs don't go the same way.

Unless I misunderstood...he's talking about an inconsistent resistance
... I have done cam upgrades and reacement on Evo and twin cams but this is actually the first time I have actually checked rotation at this point of install.
The thing that concern me is the resistance is in just a certain spot in the rotation. Have checked all clearances and pretty much anything that I can think of and have come up empty.thanks again

The problem you are describing sounds like a gear drive too tight - but you are chain drive - so ?? Eastcoast Jim

Go to the search function, at the very top of the page where the down arrow is click on it, click "all", type in Hippo Build.
