You should be able to find an NOS standard rotation marine cam. They are much more abundant than reverse rotation.


If you can't find one, they were pretty much the same as the 390 PI cam, which most cam manufacturers offer something similar.


I suspect you may have a lifter bore out of round. These days oil and cam/lifter quality get blamed for everything, which is justified most of the time. Not all engine builders are thorough and lifter bores are easily overlooked.
