My old 2.4 block gave up the ghost on the dyno so I had a new 2.4 longrod shortblock built with all billet Magnus internals (rods,crank,Pistons) plus a shotpeened block w ARPs/ACLs etc etc. Short story long.. In the process of getting her ready to go back on the dyno the shop noticed that my old FP3 intake cam must have somehow gotten nicked when the old bottom end let go and there is a fairly noticeable scrape cut into one of the intake cam lobes. Sooo.. before they can finish dyno tuning her they're suggesting I buy a new cam. Unfortunately, most of these cam's are sold in pairs and Forced Performance doesn't even make the FP3 any more. So, should I buy a whole new pair of cams (and if so, which ones?) or should I mismatch a different intake cam with my good FP3 exhaust cam (and if so which cam should I pair it with)? :hmm:

That is pretty bad.

I have sent off a Kelford cam that had some scoring on one the journals to Delta to repair.

You may think about sending the cam to be repaired.
