Yes. The only issue I have had regarding a cam, is with an all aluminum engine, and solid roller, that do to thermal expansion, I had to try to adjust the lash so tight when cold, I had some issues starting and running the engine until it warmed up, and then was fine after that, although I had to run the lash a little looser than recommended.
