Are you absolutely sure they're suited for the rocker ratio of the AU?

I think you'll find they're mostly for E Series vehicles... but don't quote me on that.

RPD didn't make cams for the AU ... only E-series.
And as I found out ... there are differences between the A and E-series cams .... and it's not just rocker ratio.

AU Cams with AU rocker will work in an E series head and E series cams with e series rocker gear wil work in AU heads. Match the cam and full rocker assembly and you will be fine. valve clearance need to be checked again and shims removed or installed in the lifters if it's not right of course.
