High octane baffles scoring high lift camshafts on RB30 with rb26 head???

[MoMnDadGTR]

Just inquiring for a friend who has his rb30 at the shop and they installed high octane baffles. big deal right...well they then started the car and reported to him the camshafts are now scored from the baffles. this sounded very wierd and highly unlikely to me so i figured i would run it by the real mates and see if this has ever happened to anyone before or if it is a known issue. thanks good chaps.

They would hit the oil shields before they hit the baffles, stupid question but did they clearance the head for high lift cams or check to make sure the spring wouldn’t bind

Proper procedures and simple steps were missed and that is where they went wrong. they never machined enough meat off the head and the lobes were touching the actual casting on the head as it went around. barely but definitely wrecked shit. anyways solved issue thanks for the input mate.

I thought so, those baffles are a long way up in the cover and found it very hard to believe anyone makes a cam with enough lift to touch them

I hope the workshop in question admitted their mistake and intend to fix free of charge at least?
