Cam movement - reassembly


Recommended Posts

09 3.5l 

Following a head gasket swap I have installed and torqued the heads, and I am installing the cam pulleys. While they came off by hand, it seems they don't want to slide fully on more than catching the key on the cam slot. Having it lined up like this, I tighten the bolts to about 50-60ft lbs (manual says 70 and then 90 degrees). I can still move the cam side to side about 1/4". This is with the 3 bolt backing plate off. Is this normal?
