Do you know what it costs to have the lifters reground?

Thanks

I had the opportunity to stop by and drop a core and 2 sets of old lifters off for them to take care of. Got to talk shop a bit with them as they are kind of confused as to why no two cam requests are the same...

They did make a request:
They are out of mechanical cam cores that have good fuel pump lobes on them. If you need one with a good lobe, you'll need to send them a good core. Since I'm asking them to groove the rear journal for better oil to the top, they do have some new hydraulic blanks with this feature and will swap your mech core for a new core if this is requested.

For the next build I've decided on a 549 grind-248 @050, .539 lift with .26 lash...ground for 109 LSA.

DI, good to see you are stepping up to a stout cam finally. Will be interested to see how you like it.

Im not sure of the gearing,my mechanic did the swap for me & I forgot to ask prior. I prefer to use pump gas & leave it as close to streetable as possible since it will be going to first time drivers. I have a ways to go so who knows I could change my mind by the time the snow melts . Thanks for the help & enjoy the winter

Do these guys regrind lifters too? I know you can regrind a VW solid lifter, but Mopar? Or is it recommended/mandatory as in a V8?

Yes, Oregon can regrind lifters. You must use new or properly reground lifters on and new or reground cam.

Eventually, they'll get a cam back with a good fuel pump lobe, but I doubt they'll be able to do much with it, since I think it's improperly re-ground already. For a while, someone was selling NOS cams on ebay and they were going for less than 50 bucks... No lifters, just a cam. I think the last one I saw went for 36 and shipping...

Tilley only uses regrinds and makes more HP than anyone else. DI, good to see you are stepping up to a stout cam finally. Will be interested to see how you like it. Lou

Hello all, Is there a published list of OCG Lobe #'s? Of course at the top of this post is the Cam Grind #'s - no problem finding that. Greg

Email them (Ken) at Oregoncamshaft.com and they will send the current list. I just emailed it to you. I am designing and ordering a few cams soon. Happy to talk. Lou
