Billet Cams

[jamesjedi]

What are the thoughts on billet cams. My cams have been checked by Web Cam and are not of the quality I was looking for. Input is welcome. This is for a 964 motor.

Thanks

I think billet cams are a good way to go as not too much more than a weld and regrind.

I bought a set of new DC80 billet cams from John Dougherty a few years back and they fit perfect. I had my rockers resurfaced at same time which was recommended to minimize premature wear.

Thanks for the input.

Most all cam grinders are using new billets, the old way of welding/grinding is a time consuming process, or if its a small change they end up grinding away some of the base circle (heel) to create lift and that wrecks the rocker geometry or the addition of lash caps etc...
