[@PowellCams]

Lol, tyvm!

[@GrandPitoVic]

Wow!!! That cam is a fishing weight. Great info sir. Thank you.

[@PowellCams]

Thanks for watching!

[@GrandPitoVic]

@@PowellCams yes sir!!!

[@StrykerHP]

Thanks for the video. I have learned so much from your channel

[@PowellCams]

Glad to hear it!

[@RoyMiller-d8y]

Thanks for the knowledge.
I find your videos to be very informative.

[@PowellCams]

So nice of you

[@sambrose1]

Two quick questions. 1 in what scenario would you actually regrind a cam? 2 What about the lost lift? Is it not enough to worry about or do you make it back up with a higher ratio rocker?
Thanks as always for sharing.

[@PowellCams]

#1 a good camshaft with mild damage is worth repairing
#2 we don't lose Lift, we put them back to the same spec.

[@sambrose1]

@@PowellCams How do you grind off material without reducing lift? Not being a smart ellic just can't see it in my mind's eye.

[@jimdavis6833]

I'm hoping you'll start doing some longer, more in-depth, videos on this channel.

[@PowellCams]

More to come!

[@gofastwclass]

Spending a dollar to save a dime.

[@PowellCams]

Yup

[@lazyhoundracing9621]

thanks for the info. I'm smarter now.

[@PowellCams]

You bet!

[@BillyWillicker]

Pro tip. Avoid used cams. Order a new one from Powell that fits your needs and specs.

[@PowellCams]

Tyvm!! We appreciate that 🙏

[@cornishcat11]

stevie wonder is busy as hell these days...

[@PowellCams]

Facts

[@codyyoung3078]

How is lifter bank angle set when grinding a cam? Or is thay something that's set when you order a core? I can't find much info out there about it

[@PowellCams]

Through the index plate on tje grinder

[@codyyoung3078]

@PowellCams oh OK I'd be interested to see a video of how that actually works there really isn't much info out there it's kinda a black art

[@PowellCams]

@@codyyoung3078 definitely, we are working on lots more videos

[@toddaaron4694]

How do I contact you about camshafts for 4.6 DOHC

[@PowellCams]

Email is best, but we are not doing any ohc stuff right now

[@fknbastages]

What would happen if you actually used that cam in an engine?
Would it run? Or just run like crap?

[@PowellCams]

It just wouldn't live long

[@fknbastages]

@@PowellCams, thank you.

[@StrykerHP]

If I ever need a cam ground, You will be grinding it

[@PowellCams]

Ty!

[@RustyorBroken]

There are a million cams available. For the cost of a new one I'm not sure why you'd buy a used one.

[@PowellCams]

Definitely

[@patrickwendling6759]
