I reassembled it using a genuine Suzuki DR650 cam with stock valve springs.  I was able to retard the cam timing 6° and ended up with the intake valve closing at 50° ABDC.  The cranking pressure was now 180 psi (that’s a mystery, possibly attributable to reusing the rings).

The odometer is currently reading 5331 miles.  I have put about 2500 miles on the new setup.  It is running excellent.  Power seems to be exactly as it was with the 402 cam.  It’s also very quiet.  No oil consumption.  Fuel consumption is averaging about 55 mpg.  This seems to be a very good combo.  Retarding the cam timing seems to work out well.  Guess I got lucky.

I will update this post periodically to fill you in on the project.

Hey Dave, do you have any photos of the combustion footprint on the top of your 94mm flat-top?

This is a photo I took when I took it apart to fix the oil leak a the head gasket (aftermarket head gasket without sealant between the plies for those folks not familiar with that fiasco).  The engine had about 500 easy miles on it - the carbon wiped right off the Cerakote Thermal Coating.
