Many thanks for your replies, both would seem to confirm that this is not uncommon.
I don't know much of the history of my engine but I'd assumed the cam fitted is standard, how would I tell?
I've now measured the difference between the length of the existing guides and the new replacement, the fitted ones appear to be 3/16" shorter than the new replacement. The guides have been driven down flush with the casting as john suggests so that alone may explain the shortening.
Thanks again, Phil.
