Solid cam damage diagnosis help

It’s not just the 7 thou taper. It’s that it was ground incorrectly for a Chrysler. I dam sure know Hughes didn’t spec that.

And yes, I’d call Howard’s and talk to them. I know, for a fact (without naming names) that if you have an issue with a Hughes cam and call Howard’s they will say Hughes sends us pallets of cores and we grind them like Hughes tells us.

I don’t know...... I can see a conversation going something like,
“Is there anything you guys can do to lower the unit cost of the grinding down a few $$ per piece?”

“Well....... we could not put the staggered taper on the SB FT cams by not having to dress the wheel for the second 8 lobes”

“That sounds good...... let’s do it”

Like I said...... it would be an interesting conversation to hear what Howard’s had to say.
