new camshaft

[roger white]

Does anyone have a new 600 camshaft for sale or know someone who
does?  I'm trying to 0 time the top end of my engine. Thanks

I am trying to improve the smoothness at idle and maximum horsepower
without extra engine noise. I would be able to use a low time used camshaft that was close to new specifications on measurements of cam journals and lobe dimensions. My camshaft is at the minimum service size on both the journal and the lobe dimensions. This results in noise from the top end of the engine. Most used camshaft adds I've seen say they don't know how to measure to see if there cams are good or not. It's easy, use a digital caliper with a 1/ 100mm resolution and measure the cams' bearing journals on both ends and the cams' intake and exhaust lobes using the knife ends on the arms of the calipers. If you have a cam that shows little wear reply with the dimensions and we may make a deal. Thanks.

Try measuring your cams with a micrometer before getting a new one.
Proper measuring may just save you some parts!

Roger;
    A trick I used a while back was to regrind the cam, and then hard chrome the rockers to build them up and place .015 lash caps on the valve stems.  Makes for a very quiet running cam box.  But you also have to bore them cylinders out and use some of Mike O'Conners 1.0 over pistons.  Making the cylinders as stright as possible will keep the piston slap down for a long time.

I called and talked with Bob Snodgrass, He was in his 60's and never heard
