Cam design limitations

Maybe they're not wanting to grind what you want because they feel they'll have to reduce the base circle so much to get that kind lift that a cam as long as the slant's would twist itself apart.
Have you talked with Oregon Cam Grinders, 360-356-7985
I was under the impression that if you or they had a core with enough lobe height, they would grind you just about anything you wanted.


From what I have learned here, it seems to me that the problem in grinding what I think I need is the lift rate for accomplishing a total lift of over .500" is just what Rumblefish said it was... the necessary angle generated by that accelerated lift rate would cause the edge of the lifter to gouge the lobe of the cam and destroy it in short order.

I had never considered that...

I learn something every day...:violent1:
