Thanks, good to know. I used my #14 head as a stand to hold the camshaft from the #17, cleaned off the corrosion using PB Blaster and a brass brush. It cleaned up nicely, so I'll use it when I install the #17 head. I'll keep all the lifters from the #14 head (and the camshaft) just in case.

When tightened, the #22 cam would spin as it should.
