<VV> Re: reground cams

[Eric S. Eberhard]

I have experience with one reground cam from a reliable vendor.  It lasted 
less than 20k miles and then had several flat lobes.  At 10k miles it was 
already pretty bad with it impossible to adjust lifters to be silent.

I replaced it with an NOS cam.  Not enough miles to be sure, but so far, 
silent.

Query ... if you can get an NOS cam for 100 bucks, why buy a reground?  The 
labor to replace the cam is many times the price of the cam!!!!
