Well Its official, my SoopaDoopa grpA cam is past its best spent an hour up the garage with a DTI and come up with these figures
In Ex
1--0.326--------0.318
2--0.329--------0.333
3--0.317--------0.323
4--0.333--------0.323
5--0.332--------0.320
6--0.322--------0.323
7--0.319--------0.328
8--0.325--------0.330
I am fairly certain the lift should be 0.333 on both sides, so its worn 17 thou on one lobe and many are worn more than i would like,
plus there is some pitting on tip of 2 lobes so they are starting to break up, the lifters are also starting burr over so you could feel a couple dragging as I pulled them out of their bores,
Time for a change I think,
I did get the Kent 256M in the other engine, so that's a possibility, as anyone used one with success, as I have heard things about Kents that don't fill me with confidence.

Newmans should be able to grind me me a new one, I used to know them very well in there when I played with Crossflows, still ran a 12.6 earlier in the year with the compression down and a shagged cam, wonder what it will do when fully set up
