By having it tested then getting a set of either then going back in for an install.

does that make sense or am i under thinking this?
Run a dial indicator on the crank snout at the point where it passes through the camplate. I bought a setup off Amazon, not terribly expensive.

Check runout and order chain or gear drive cams based on results. Check with dial indicator or a home made fixture; see the attachments. Or, the Fueling tool available from Amazon.

I just posted the picture as an example of another fixture and way to measure; not a replacement for due diligence. I just grabbed the first one that popped up and assumed cvaria could take it from there and order what he needed.

I could but I won't. It's Amazon, easy fix and glad you figured it out; I'd be worried about you if you hadn't. It wasn't a "trick" post.
