This was the most explanatory video of showing and explaining the process and making, plus using the "Master" profiles after they were made. .......... I just wish the most that it was titled; "Master Making And Grinding Camshaft For XXX." Because it didn't come up under "Camshaft Grinding Masters" and was found on the side list of videos. .......... Sorta wish a comment of most other flat tappet camshafts are parkerized at X point, but not that particular grind due to roller lifters. ..........
After cutting the master , I assume you have to watch which way you mount the master on the other end of the spindle. If you flipped it over, would it grind a different profile?
What can you tell me about tappets? I have a 1984 Navy Motor Whaleboat with a Westerbeke 107-4 diesel engine. Per my mechanic it needs tappets for a rebuild as the original ones are beginning to flake from wear. I've attempted to locate a source for the tappets but to no avail. For the lack of a few relatively low dollar parts my engine rebuild is at a standstill. In your experience is it possible to recondition or otherwise improve a tappet to be serviceable and reliable? If a tappet of similar size, slightly over, was located could it be machined to size if the process is practical. I saw a video from a shop in California that showed welding up a camshaft lobe with hardened rod and then machining back to contour. I was curious if this would in any way be possible with a tappet/lifter? Would you have any suggestion that could help in resolving my tappet problem so I can get my motor running again? Any suggestion of a machine shop that does this kind of work would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I always wondered how regrinds where done. Thanks. Just one question. Since the base is ground down, would I have to measure for different pushrod length? Again, thank you for sharing. Great video.
It's a time consuming process but awesome that you have the ability and knowledge to do this!
Thanks. Talked to you today. I'm excited! Can't wait...
Thanks for the video; very interesting and well done
Awesome man cool tech stuff.

Good stuff👍🏻👍🏻
Good video. Have did work on a 4age Twincam 16v STANDARD CAMSHAFT, WITH CUTTING and grinding into performance CAMSHAFT of 4AGE TWINCAM 16V..

Hi there what’s the best cam grinding machine but not for high output machining

I'm wondering the same. Did you ever get an answer?
@@sxs4l245 no reply as of yet
YOU SHOULD EXPLAIN TO ALL ABOUT HOW REMOVAL OF METAL FROM CAMSHAFT CENTERLINE CREATES LIFT
BY REMOVING MEAT FROM THE BACK OR HEEL OF SHAFT IT RAISES THE NOSE OR THE TIP, THE CENTERLINE IS EFFECTIVELY FURTHER FROM TIP, THUS CREATING MORE LIFT
What are specific of this cam and how much gets cut off the base circle? What pushrod would you need? Thanks
+.060 pushrod there is a company on eBay selling them for $40 for the set including shipping
@@DELTACAM8005625500 thanks so these are 228- 230 with 580 lift
