Just received TRF Winter Parts Sale catalog #1 and see that they offer new as
well as re-ground camshafts for the TR6.
I have a 73 TR6 and I am currently in the middle of an engine re-build, I have
all machined parts oiled and wraped in plastic bags in my garage waiting for
just one more part, "a camshaft".
My original cam had 6 out of 12 lobes badly worn.
I am only using this car as a street car, and everything on the car is
original spec.
My question is should I spend the extra $$ and buy a new camshaft or is a
re-gring fine?
I had heard a while back that you have to watch out for some re-grinds because
they can be badly machined. But given the fine reputation of TRF, and the fact
that they always try to get the best parts for our cars, I would hope that
there re-ground camshafts are of good quality.
I intend to send my cam to save the core charge. Does the amount of wear on
the old camshaft affect the core charge?
Who else offers a good camshaft for street use for a 73 TR6?
Any help would be appreciated.
