LOL. Well, they are when you first installed them right? Brand new? They don't have any kind of mileage on them.
I'm not making any accusations, just asking you to keep an eye on them.

Here's a pic I found of someone's Scheider regrind cam. Scheider sells thousands of these:

Sorry Jon, I went back and put a LOL in that post, but must have not waited for it to accept it.

LOL

There, now one is in there.

For sure, I'll keep my eyes on them. For everyone's info, these are just regrinds, they do not add any material in and then grind them back down.

BTW Jon, what kind of rockers and the like do those have?

Here's a pic of one of the VG heads. It's single cam hydrolic lifters.

It turns out that Goeff at Colt Cams talked to one of the Z31 members recently, and we're starting a group buy for both the n/a and turbo cars, and with different specs for each. lol Strange coincidence.
We're getting both cams for $225.

225 eh laugh.gif I knew the colt cam deal here was a bad price for regrinds, but that's quite the difference. Wonder where the difference is going. smile.gif

No, it's for both cams. But remember, it's a 2 valve, single cam per head. Only 12 valves/lobes to regrind, vs. 16 for the Tib.

Still doesn't remotely account for $200 difference. I've been looking for other sources lately myself, and 225 is much more in the ballpark for regrinds then 425 is.

$425 is a great price for these, especially considering that includes shipping from Canada back here, at the weight they are at.

This is 1/2 the reason we don't get any serous support from anyone.

$1200 for brand new turbo cams from Korea. Too expensive.
$425 for some very well done regrinds from Canada. Too expensive.
$109 for a OEM intake cam that may net you 2 HP? OMFG!

^^^Seriously.


Then people wait on the guy that ruined the set plans and says he's gonna "look into a better price". And it never happens.
