Re: Camshafts for the EG33.

Upon receiving my fancy ground cams back, I was able to see clearly the issue people spoke about but never explained in the numerous cam threads here - and that is when the cam "rides the journal and not the lobe", which made zero sense to me at the time as the actual bearing journals are around 28mm and the regrind takes the cam down to 29-30 mm depending of course.

This shows a section of the camshaft next to the lobe - the bucket is wider than the lobe if you recall. So if you grind the base circle down to much the bucket will ride the cam shaft rather than the lobe at this point which from memory it is cylinder 1 and 2 (intake only). I think this was the issue LAN talked about his thread with the early cam issue. Makes sense? Mine for interest sake is a just clear so it should be fine - if not, nothing 2 mins with the file couldn't solve.
