I'm looking for some opinions as to dressing the lobes and bearing races on a set of used cams before install. Used to be I'd dress them with some emery cloth, just curious if this still applies or if there are better methods?
Thanx, Hogrotten.:small3d029:
Guy has a valid point.
The rollers on the tappets will have wear grooves matching up with the old cams, and if you install other cams with different wear marks there could be accelerated wear causing premature problems, I personally install new lifters every time if they have over 5,000 miles on them when I'm changing cams. But I'm a tech not a preacher so take it for what it's worth. Just a opinion.
