I called comp and they said they probably cut through the surface hardness when they reground it. When I asked why it hadn't been hardened after it was reground they said that would make it too hard and likely to break. They also told me that my problem was rare but when I talked to a guy at a local machine shop he said every one he ever sent back for a regrind did the same thing.
Interesting,
probably had more to do with who done the re-grind(s)

Bullit cams is one of the best in the business, I wouldnt be afraid to have mine reground there, sure is alot cheaper than I new one.
