Slant six builders...Lets talk Cams
Comp Cam nitride harden the cams which is much harder than the oil pump gears.It will eat your oil pump gear till you lose oil pressure,then all your works is for nothing...
Good advice !!!
huh then why did it cost me 2-1/2 times the price for the 260H I bought from COMP a few years ago for my son's 360? being it's a Mopar and not a damn Chevy/Ford that made an off-the-shelf cam into a "custom" grind... They have the common cams for Chevy/Ford already to go at only $25 over the standard fare...
I have the packing slip from 3/3/15... no prices on the packing slip but it has a separate callout for "LABOR CHARGE; TO NITRIDE CAMSHAFT" as I remember a standard COMP 260H for a smallblock was ~$160. we paid almost $400 for that exact cam, only nitrided/
Why would they have not told me to save my money, they come that way as standard issue?
I have a cam at Oregon as we speak, an original stock cam from a '74 225, being converted into an Oregon #819. waiting anyday now for a phone call from them with a total bill... I had my cam reground, ordered a set of new (not reground) lifters, and a set of SI oversize valves. I called them today for an update, the guy who answered (not Ken, I have talked to him a couple of times recently) said my cam is done, they have the lifters, and he had to check on the status of my O/S valves/
said they could be in the house already but he had to check and he'd let me know....
On a related note, I hope to have those valves in hand before next weekend (about 10 days from now) as I was hoping to hand my home ported head off for completion when I go to Indy for the swap meet....
