Getting ready to buy a new cam so the motor can go back together. I'm going to replace it with a stock grind but was wondering about the difference in where you buy them from. Pelican has a stock webcam for $130.00, GPR sells an aftermarket or reground cam (their words) for $63.00. Differences? Recommendations? Thanks.

Coors is one of the big US ceramic companies. Mebbe they make the lifters.
They make ceramic filters for their beer and ceramic parts for other folks - which is how they got into the business. They injection mold the ceramic (like plastic) and then fire it. Had them make some parts for me once from a prototype plastic tool. Parts came back at 40% mold original size. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Ceramics shrink like a bitch when fired. A lot more than metal injection molded parts (MIM) . Spent some time talking with a Japanese company and they talked about a grinding process to get phenominal (SP?) tight tolerances. Had a rod in a lifter sized cylinder that was ( if my memory serves) about a half a thou clearance. Got their literature somewhere. Ken |
