Man, I didn't understand anything you just said. After translating though, do you have a link to this site? It sounds interesting. I haven't heard of anything like that before.

Many people try to safe a buck and try-out many different cam options. It all comes down to the same thing: HKS cams are the best option!

Good luck with the regrinds...

If you have to ask, please, go buy the remachined cams.

You obviously are completely and totally oblivious to everything, and need to learn a lesson.

I'm sure we'll see in a few months down the road "DOOD WTF MAH CAR IZ RUNNIN LIEK POOOP "

Check out Defiant's response... He gave you one good reason.

Want another one? Big companies, like Crower or WEB can't cut our cams as good as HKS, what makes you think that this guy can? I do not know for a fact that his cams are not well cut, but given the history of others trying to cut our cams, I would tend to be skeptical.

if you want to buy the regrinds go ahead just don't get mad when your engine blows and we say "i told you so". just save yourself a headache and buy the HKS cams.

Factory camshafts are induction-hardened, which case-hardens the lobes. When reground, this hardened "shell" is thinned, and it's seldom that the regrinders have the ability to re-harden them. Camshaft and followers are the most highly-loaded part in an engine, and often in the whole car. Overhead cams have just a bit more loading than pushrod setups, as you don't have as large a follower face, nor the flex of a pushrod/rocker/rocker shaft assembly to absorb shock. When they fail, the nose of the cam lobe will begin to mushroom (see Ford Pinto), and much like a mud slide, once it starts there's no getting it back. It will seldom "blow" an engine, you'll just have a cylinder start to lose power- one of the reasons to learn to read a vacuum gauge, as it'll tell you about it.

I can't believe it took until post 13 before someone answered his question as to why regrinds are bad. Kudos to Defiant.
