Hi all...the cam from my 2 liter is out for re-grind. Assuming it can be done successfully, which new lifters are you guys recommending?
Thanks |

I wasn't sure which lifters to use either for a regrind cam, so I just re-used the stock lifters.
I sent 2 sets of stock lifters to Elgin for regrind. He said one set was past wear limits, the other set he reground for use with the 330-1 cam. Was that a bad thing to do? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Elgin would not have sent you anything back that was not done right. Every Elgin reground cam I have ever used, got stock or aftermarket stock equivalent lifters installed with it. The stock lifters have a hardened layer that can be ground flat again but if the lifter is worn too far there is not enough of the hardened layer left to grind. That is why Elgin said one set was past the wear limit. The stock cam is hardened all the way through the blank and provided it is ground with proper cooling/lubrication it does not require retreating or hardening to get the same surface as it started with.
