<VV> Concerns on 889 cam.

[corvairs at pacifier.com]

I don't think you "need" the 4 degree offset key, but it might help your
low end a little. As for re-using, it's a judgement call. "The cam is the
last thing to fall out of the engine", Bill Fisher. To me that would
always be reason enough.....but i know you're not in a convenient
location.
