2/3/23: Oregon Cam Grinding Called. My Order of 3 Camshafts is done and was shipped out yesterday. Just now Waiting on the local Machine Shop, for the Block and Crank work which may take a bit longer. Also Dropped of the machine shop content 2 weeks later than the Cams so ~ 4 weeks turnaround for the 3 cams and 24 Lifters to be reground was good for me. |

$4 per lifter i believe.I had a bunch of nasty old OE Lifters - They were the dumbell type, So I figured I would recycle them, I don't think it added much to the shipping cost. |

Nice progress, Greg. Good to know Oregon is operating well too. Still haven't made my cam order, but should do that m'self. Lou |

2/14/23: My Camshafts Arrived Back From Oregon Cam Grinding as well as 24 Lifters. I stamped the Cams so that they would be matched with the Core Engine's oil pumps that they were mated with, so that there is less of an oil pump gear compatibility issue in the future. Now I have a new cam for this build as well as 2 more cams for future road going cars, as my '79 Volare Duster and the '62 Valiant Wagon will need some rebuilds sometime.  Cheers! |

3/2/23: It was 70° in western Pennsylvania on March 1st yesterday.. yet an usually warm day again, the roads are also unusually dry and salt free from the rain. We have not really had any cold or snow this year at all.. I miss winter. It was nice enough to take the '62 Wagon out to do some station wagon cruising and run some errands. My errands took me to the machine shop where the machined block and crank were waiting for me yesterday.   I also was able to get the block mounted on the stand to begin some cleaning and assembly.  I have some other surprise goodies arriving later this week too!

Super cool, Greg. Glad to see that wagon getting some appropriate use too! Lou |

Yep, Thanks, Ava enjoyed our running errands after school yesterday. She had the wind in her hair and was hanging out the window like a dog getting a face full of air. Block was bored 0.060 Over for stock replacement pistons. I questioned them about the Balance on the crank and the owner admitted he does not do the balancing, he has a partner that does the balancing for him and confirmed that yes the weights are indeed not needed, but I had provided them anyway. Looking forward to getting a build going Greg |

3/9/23: Over the weekend I got some small things done. Got the Cam Bearings installed and began to mock up a late model OE piston squirter for the Oil Pump / Cam gear helical interface. Not sure how all of that is going to work yet. Also got the matched oil pump from this cam... (I stamped the cams and corresponding oil pumps before sending to the cam grinding shop) and did some modifications... removed the factory standpipe, did a bit of porting / blending inside the factory casting, as well as throughly cleaning and servicing the entire assembly.    I de-sludged and thoroughly polished / cleaned the oil pressure relief valve. It was so sludged and stuck that I had to place a 1/2" tap up in the bore to get it to move and be pulled free.

Can you give more details on your procedure? I've ruined a couple pistons doing this and would love any pointers you have.
