    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I got some used G4 cams that are .355" lift. On the lobe there is a nice chip out of the hardened surface. It seems to go all the way out to where the pad of the rocker ends. (as in the small bit of hardened surface on the edge doesn't hit the rocker --- at least I don't think judging by the difference in color around the lobe.

Obviously this isn't ideal - but do you think that the cam is going to survive long? I'm using stock valve springs that are shimmed 0.060". Also - I have 750 oil pump gears so there should be a healthy supply of oil going to the cams. Here are pictures - what do you think?

Those are really nice picks ; shows what junk the cams are :eek:

There is a brand new set of 0.348 webcams on e-bay right now BIN $300
 
hardfacing is compromised, cam is junk. will not survive at all. if anything more hardfacing will just come off and make a royal mess in your engine.
 
JB weld???
