Well, the TR6 engine is in the machine shop, and so far so good, BUT
they said that they would need to weld some lobes on my old cam, and I
said, Not yet, I want to see if I can find something better first. So
where can I get a *good* cam that's not welded for a reasonable price?
< $150

Anybody know anything about this cam? Bob, do you have one? I
noticed that it requires a core, so I wouldn't be surprised if I saw a
weld or two on it. I can get my old cam custom done for about
$80-$100 with welding. (that includes turing too)

Bob, who is your supplier @ 4.65? TRF wants $6.25 each according to
the Green price list - 10% for the October sale.
I was planning on ordering most of my stuff from TRF, bearings and
all, does anyone have a better source for engine internals? I've been
happy with what I've received from them so far. Great service and I
think their prices are pretty good, but then again, I haven't been
able to shop compare with everybody yet. I'm not interested in
inferior parts to save a just few $$$ as I really don't want to
rebuild the engine again any time soon. I don't need a list of
suppliers as that was posted recently, but recent impressions about
part suppliers are welcome!
Thanks in advance. Here's hoping I'll be able to warm my hands on a
warm TR6 engine REAL soon... :-)
