But did you install the cam bearings in the proper sequence?
Example Cone Installer, 1st bearing installed would be the #4 Cam Bearing.
Cone centered tightly in the #1 cam journal position.
Second bearing installed would be #2 bearing with the Cone installed in the
#5 Cam Bearing location.
Then install #3 with the cone in either the front or rear of the block, #1 or #5 position.
Next install #5 (from the Inside of the block) and cone on #1 position.
Last install #1 (from the Inside of the block) and cone on #5 position.
Never going to be true for the cam without a similar sequence.

Bearings should have been checked against cam journals before starting installation to make sure bearing were correct diameter
for the camshaft journals with the parts OUTSIDE the BLOCK.
