Me too Zip. In fact I groove half the set on the backside so both sides have the flow in the direction of the rotating assembly.
Yes Dave that's what i do also and should have said that
Hey, on another note. Do you remember the advertising claims of "flame hardened camshafts"?
Yes i remember that was an advertizment about flame hardening the cams, although i don't see how that's possible with a cast iron cam, even if it worked i would bet they had to straighten that puppy to get it in the cam bearings :lol:
Like i said in a previous post i will have some answers on the hardness issues.
I'm taking one solid lift flat tappet two roller cams an a hydraulic flat tappet cam that went flat, plus hydraulic lifters, solid flat tappet lifters and a couple sets of roller lifters, one Crower and one set of comp cams rollers. I don't know how they will test out but i will have accurate hardness, both in the rockwell scale or the burnell scale, since the cast cams will probaly be too soft for the rockwell test.
Zip.
