Checking cam runout and lift.
I watched Isky Straighten a cam years ago, and couldn’t believe how he did it. The cam was mountsed in V blocks similar to that, with a dial indicator, and he would roll it over, check the dial, then whack it with a BFH in specific places. It was great watching a master at work.
The guy at Powell Machine was the first video I saw on straightening a camshaft. I had no idea it could be done like this. Pretty darn cool.
If you still have them you could make that a winter project, since it’s fresh on your mind now.I had a couple roller cams that I was going to send to Jim at Racer Brown that were damaged to see if he could cut them. He wanted me to check to see if they were bent. I bought two sets of v blocks and have checked lift but never did check runout of those cams yet.

I believe it. You have previously mentioned the pile of heads you have on deck. That alone is a ton of work, and no way that’s all of it.Lol if you would see my winter list.

A 422 360-1 package should bring a huge grin to one's face!Ya I gotta finish my new set of heads, build my Indy 360-1 engine (422)and I want to work on those heads, pull the heads on my current 408 and put this better set on, hopefully some body work on my duster from my sons wreck, one or two powerglide rebuilds, I gotta port several intakes already for customers, plus get two knees replaced. And hopefully some LS heads.
