I have run my first cord thru my SS. I noticed this uneven cam follower contact on top of the rack. What should I do with this condition?
Super Split Fine Tuning?

Mines the same way..... I asked about it when inquiring about some other things and was told its not an issue.
Grease those followers though... The oil in them will dry out in short order. Especially the one that rides on the beam.

Mine looks the same, not anything to worry with.
Fine tuning will come when you jamb a piece. This can happen on the push plate end if a round is angle cut, or gives way to being punky. The result is the rams is wedged sideways in the round and it can throw the top of beam bearing tracking off at the end of the spring steel mount. If return is slow, everything is clean, bearing oiled lightly, then check the bearings alignment being parallel with the beam. It can be adjusted with small incremental light taps on one side or the other. Pull the ram out by hand and release to check for improvement of ram return speed. It will be a very apparent improvement if tracking was the cause. Also, as you wear the paint off the ram carriage edges, and beam flange edge contact points ram return will improve as well. Enjoy splitting with a straight, upright posture and ergonomic resplitting.
PS. A literal 'heads up'. Keep your nose back from over the beam. Once in a great while you will get a piece ride up the wedge and summersault back towards the ram. Happens quick when it does. You will learn to read them rather quickly.
Dr. Pepper as in soda? I like Coke myself, too much so.
