how much does getting cams reground usually run someone then?

I found a place that does it for $210 per cam and uses a nickle chrome alloy for the welding material. It's not a bad price when you consider a set of JUN cams would cost close to $1,200.

There are probably places that will do it for less than $200 per cam, you just gotta look around but make sure you are comfortable with the type of material they are using to weld the lobes.

hmm.. 200 bucks is ok.. would i need to provide cam specs for them (in general)? I've never really done anything to cams before. what are some acceptable materials in your opinion?

The CA16DE's head may have a smaller combustion area than the CA18's because of the difference in bores....

im going to check it out...
if anyone beats em to it let us know how it works.
in the honda camp, we do this alll the time.

now if i can find a cheap ca16de head,and if it fits, followed by some head work.

would you be able to tell me the torque specs for big end and main bearings in a ca18det?
