Update - cam now at crow, $82 for a grind and $40 to get my lifters resurfaced, 3 - 7 power band on a cortina so ill be able to rev it out a bit more without losing power.

 

if you go down to crow cams don't talk to the older lady. the bloke told me $60 for a regrind and the lady said "$60 is too cheap we can't do that, $82" :glare:

 

edit - also took the specs for the cam i have in atm. found it in the book "1700 - 3700 powerband" :glare:

update

 

little update, i measured my CC of my combustion camber = 33CC (9.5:1 compression). i needed 31cc to achive my 10:1. my machinist took 25tho off the head, deburred all the cambers, checked out my valve seats. i got the head back today, measured her all up and bang on 31cc :D.

 

so i got home ready to change my stem seals and swap to double valve springs. also found out 5k stem seals are HUGE compaired to 4k ones and can't be used. fml, so cracked the shits and polished my intake manifold

 

intake ports have been portmatched and bellmouthed. i went over them with some MEGA course 60grit for more flow.

 

 

also found out i have to degree in my camshaft! so i got a camshaft degree kit from ebay for $180, might seam like alot but i have a few camshafts ill need to time so its worth paying a little more.
