Member Contributer Mohawk Posted March 6, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted March 6, 2016 Piper Cams in the UK, did my cam regrind profiles for £300 (circa US$500) they will make billet cams & quoted me £1000 (circa US$1500) for four new cams for the VFR, though that was 3 years ago. One of the jobs I have not managed on my spare engine yet is to degree the VFR & cam lift, piston clearance etc. I will get round to it, but just finishing off my 250 at the mo.

GearWhyne Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Four cams do sting a bit with getting work done. I wonder if you could electroplate the cam lobe faces to get more lift and maintain the stock profile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyRedRC46 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 usually, if not a regrind or new billet, that would be done by welding the cam profile. $500 for regrinding 4 cams is a really good deal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearWhyne Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Yep, especially if you happen to be in the U.K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer HighSideNZ Posted March 9, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted March 9, 2016 Yes, I wouldn't have minded too much if my cam reworks cost $500. Down here in NZ it cost me $2400 for the 4 cams and they cocked it up twice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearWhyne Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 You could've added a second engine for less than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer HighSideNZ Posted March 11, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted March 11, 2016 That was on my second engine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
