Cam install issue, lobe hitting

The cam seems to be hitting right here where the finger is pointing. They're stage 3 crowers. Can I just file this part down? Will that decrease the strength of the brace? Is there an aftermarket part I need? Thanks

I had to clearance all of my cam cradles and that was with FR500 cams.

So does he have to widen the cam cradle?

Op how was the install on the cams? Looking to do this soon.

What do you mean by "widen?" It's as simple as removing the material that the lobe is hitting.

That's what I meant NA. Was just wondering in case if I run into this problem on install.

Ok, that's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure if maybe there was a aftermarket cam cradle that I would need to get without decreasing the strength of the cradle. Thanks again. Can't wait til this is all done, gonna be nice!
