I have no problem being corrected when a mistake is made, I'm just not 
comfortable with the pleasure it brings some people to point it out & 
the way it's addressed on what is supposed to be an open forum to share 
information and learn.
I posted the Integral link where interested owners could visit & see the 
products & prices for themselves. I would love to research every product 
& price before I post a response but by the time I was done the topic 
wouldn't be current. I didn't know there was a penalty for being wrong.
I also never refereed to "original" equipment parts or their quality. 
Besides, it's not how old the part is , it's how many hours of run time, 
the maintenance record & the abuse it has endured that qualifies how 
well it was made.
Sure they were capable of making quality camshafts in the 50's, but if 
your going to tell me that they compare to a current day mass produced 
performance cam in accuracy, consistency of quality &  workmanship I 
must still disagree. I certainly hope machining & metallurgy have 
advanced somewhat in the last 30 years. I'm sure you would agree the 
japanese have improved the ability to work with stamped steel from their 
1960 rust buckets.
All I was trying to point out was other options to owners & the past 
experiences & failures with other products. Certainly never intending to 
offend anyone, especially people who have only helped with encouragement 
and information on what is otherwise a invaluable source of knowledge & 
friendship.
