Man I gotta try this

$50 a lobe for welding and $150 for grinding to profile, was what I saw in the video where he was doing a cummins cam.

Then this is why you don’t go by my memory. Of course, I was getting at least 2 lobes done at a time so maybe that’s what I’m remembering.

Sucks getting old.

Pretty cool. I'd say with a little prep work the transition between the filler and cam would be indetectable.

Yep you are right. I should learn to read better.

Well I was close anyhow! LOL $150 total weld and grind.

With shipping back and forth, that's rapidly approaching the price of a new roller (or at least a reground roller).

It think it was on the comments on the drop-down menu where I saw 50.00 per lobe. I have a small block cam I would gladly pay that to fix the one lobe.

One lobe is probably financially a wise move, especially if a local grinder. Three or more lobes (mine), not such a great idea....

Mine was a nice Racer Brown roller cam and I talked to Jim about it and he said before I send it Chuck it up to see if it’s bent. The racer brown roller in my engine now is a cast steel cam not a billet.

Nothing new really. Ed Iskendarian has been welding and grinding cam lobes for a lot of years. In fact I think he built his own grinder back in the 50s. There’s a great documentary on him, I’ll see if I can find it.

Edited to add:

Of course it's nothing new, it's the miracle that someone is still willing to do it in today's throw away society!

I think it is undetectable once you bolt the intake back on.
