Keith, saw your post after I just posted. I don't recall the exact spring pressure, but my builder suggested we go light on pressure and cam for street use. about .540 lift. The thing that is puzzling is that I pulled the lifter from the bore (definately solid) and the base looks fine and I've had to adjust every single one of them suckers, so I would think that the lifter would be seriously messed up if the cam is hosed on the base of the lobe. I can understand the high side of the cam getting cut down, but the base (where I'm setting the lash) seems like it wouldn't get buggered up without some serious signs of problems on the lifters....Guessing there. What a pisser.
Oh, and when you say "spin a camshaft", are you referring to the bearings? When I turn the thing over by hand, I see all the rockers doing their thing still. So confused....
