Just a thought.

This is what my fear is, When I called to have cam ground I had called Chris P when he was at crane, he left while my cam was to be done and it got shuffled over to comp and ground totally different than we talked, in a more aggressive fashion. I usually check the ptv the simple way with clay, but also checked it by opening valve with checking springs and degree wheel, same result both ways.
For reference camshaft is COMP .396/.396 lift, 288/294 .006, 248/254 .050 and on the big core
