Doogs Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Hey, i am looking into where i can get my cam ground , and have found a few melboure joints (Crow Cams, Clive Cams, Crane Cams, Wade Cams etc) but i was wondering if anyone has a specific shop they recomend, or have had a good job done with at this stage i accept it will not be an off-the-shelf job, as not many places regularly do grinds for the 3k, but this is ok as i have a fair idea of what i want so let me know what experience you guys have had with different joints (good and bad) cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwarf Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I used to use Wade cams, and they were very good, and have a good selection of grinds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medicine_Man Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Got mine reground for about $80 by tighe cams in queensland.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I've got a tighe regrind, and it has served well in two motors over about 6 1/2 years. I've also known a couple of people to have had problems with tighe cams. I'd look at someone more local to you. At least if you have any problems help is closer at hand. Also you would save on freight in both directions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickn5k Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I have used wade before although they weren`t for K motors all performed as they were intended and last quite well. and the guy that tunes my corolla recomends clive cams he says he was wade`s apprentice. hope that helps stu.

kangaroosa Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 CamTech in NSW has a good selection of cam grinds for both 5K hydraulic and 3K/4K Solids. I am planning on getting a Tighe grind when i can afford to have to Rolla off the road. Crow cams have a very limited selection. Apparently their main grind is the same as an MGB. I was planning on getting a Wade cam, because they are local. But i have been stuffed around with week long delays in answering my emails, and then i couldnt get the information that i wanted. Even on the phone, they werent too forth coming with their insight. So i'm in two minds about using them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doogs Posted June 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 thanks guys, i will look into those more, if i do end up getting a grind done locally, chances are i that i will be using tighe cams specs anyway, due to the lack of grinds otherwise available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacktopspirit Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) Hey man As already mentioned Clive Cams is the cheapest and best by far, he is in Ferntree Gully. "and the guy that tunes my corolla recommends Clive Cams he says he was wade`s apprentice." Yeah like 40 years ago, Clive was Wades right hand man for the last 30 odd years, he knows his shit. Cost me $80 and took 3 days and he was very informative. Edited July 2, 2007 by blacktopspirit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doogs Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Cheers man, my mate with an lx torrie said a similar thing, he rekons they are one of the best going round, and suposedly clive left cause he thought wade's were going to the pack, so i will certainly check them out i am i right in saying they don't have a web address (clives) ?
