    TA 206/206 cam very tight in stock long block

    Pulled the old cam shaft to replace with TA hydraulic flat tappet. The journals are 0.0015" larger diameter than the stock cam, and it is pretty tight fit. Anyone else have this issue, or know reasonable fix? I think the fit issue is significantly impacted by replacing the front cam bearing...
