46flattie wroteThanks to this post and a few others regarding the Summit (or anybody's) cams, I did a little more cam inspection than usual. Anyhow my new K8600 looks good regarding lobe surface, oiling holes and front journal grove, etc. (FWIW: I believe Summit indicated to me that Crane grinds their cams.)
One question though, at the edges of the lobe are sharp edges. (Not burrs, and not on the lobe surface, but rather on the side of the lobe at the 90 degree intersection of the ground surface and the cast lobe.) Should a guy carefully chamfer this?
Sorry to answer so late, but this is important.
Should not be necc. to chamf., but make sure the oiling holes are thare. It might be a good idea to run a pipe cleaner down the holes as well to make sure thare is no sand still in the cam.
