building my 460, put cam in today, them used grade 8, 1/2 long bolts to hold them cam plate in............seems bolts heads hit back side of cam sprocket........but cam moves forward and back about 1/8-1/4 of an inch.......is this normal??? cam moving and all???

also, how tight are you suppose to tighten the cam thrust plate bolts, i ended up craking and breaking the plate into many pieces, i didnt even tight the bolts that hard..............where can i get a new plate.........


is it ok to use the bolts i did, or do you HAVE to use a special cam plate bolt????
