IIRC those are the ones that need clearancing on certain heads.
i would run a search on mr2oc for more info.

Right where the op switch is there is a passage that goes into the head I could shave it but I don't know if its actually safe to shave it there otherwise its gonna be time for a new head

i cant say for sure one way or the other, but i would guess as long as your not going to cut into an oil passage that delivers pressured oil, you would be fine grinding out some material.

sorry i cant be more help man, hopefully the guys on mr2oc will have an answer for ya now that you posted up a pic.
i would imagine there would be enough material there for you to grind it out enough for the cam to clear...worse case, you could call jim, i know for sure he has at least a couple spares around from talking to him.
