Found out why I was stumped. Remanufactured head = oversized cam journals. Noticed you can just buy cams with bigger journals so the head can be be repaired. Need to bring a micrometer home tomorrow and see what size over it is so I can buy another cam to then have it reground

For anyone searching for the info, no you CANNOT swap hydraulic/mechanical rocker cams. Valves stick up further in the mechanical rocker head. took me a few minutes of staring at both heads searching for a difference.
