Pictures of my NEW Camshafts
Yup by new, meaning BRAND NEW and NOT welded/reground
I never trusted reground cams, always thought the welded part will eventually shatter and destroy the rest of the engine. Simply didn't want to gamble with this. So I kept looking for a manufacturer who can fab new ones for me at a reasonable price and I succeeded! Here you can see the OEM set: And here are the new cams (took the shots of one Intake and one Exhaust). N-joy!:

Re: Pictures of my NEW Camshafts
The real questions then:
Approximately how much did they cost? What sort of cam specs are they ground to? |

Re: Pictures of my NEW Camshafts
Thanks Ron!
Bob, those cams costed me $1550 shipped. Compared to the welded/reground cams of Webcams, I say I got one hell of a deal. And no, those were not made in the US. I will not disclose the profile for now except for the 11mm lift. I know everybody will not agree to its duration, but I have my own belief and a specific use for it.

Re: Pictures of my NEW Camshafts
They are made of 42CrMo4 which is an alloy equal to AISI 4140.
I sent them to one manufacturer first and he gave me hell with the time to start the job. Waited a year... then sent them again to Polish Manufacturer and tried to negotiate a better pricing, but since demand for the SVX is much much less than other cars, the price was high but $200 less than the first manufacturer. Anyways if someone wishes to have a set, let him contact me and I will hook you up. I mentioned the subject to them and they want to deal with one person only for the SVX, so they appointed me.

Re: Pictures of my NEW Camshafts
Yup.. I chose an interference profile.
Others can choose whatever profile they want for their SVXi

Would they provide only finished cams or would they do semi-finished as well? In other words, so I could have them ground here to my specs and base circle diameter. I just feel more comfortable dealing with '@.020" and @.050" duration numbers' rather than the European standards (advertised duration and lift @ TDC). |

to be frank with you, I never compared the two weight-wise... But 500grams~750grams is a great weight reduction when talking about 2~3 kilo cam.
