Wow, good news on the cam Christopher. Hopefully we will both be tooling
around real soon.

Subject: Thanks to Isky
I talked to Ron Iskenderian of Isky Cams today and told him the story
of my lifter failure. While he could not pinpoint the cause of my
failure, he did offer to look at my lifters for me to determine if the
hardening had been compromised. Even if it had been, however, he
explained that the other factors involved may have caused the failure.
He also stated that refaced lifters are not typically rehardened. He
described it as a sort of "black art" and that if it were not done
right the result could be worse than if the lifter were not hardened.
He says that Alpine lifters are "chill" hardened and that there should
be at least 1/8" of hardened material at the end. Any refacing should
not come near removing that much.
MUCH TO MY AMAZEMENT, HE OFFERED TO REPLACE MY CAM FREE OF CHARGE.
MANY THANKS TO ISKY FOR THEIR GRACIOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE. I am
extremely grateful for this and have been won over as a customer for
life as a result.

I would like to thank everyone for their support during my most recent
problem. Bob Willis graciously volunteered to drop the correct cam for my
III GT off at Schneider. I am having them regrind it to more of a
performance profile. I called and begged the guy at Schnieder to please get
it done this week and FedEx it to me. With any luck (I am due for some luck
here)I will have a functional car this weekend.
Thanks,
Kurt
