Do it yourself cam mods.

[Fletcher]

I'm attempting to dremel grind a couple of my cam lobes. After reviewing the profile, I'm having problems understanding the static spatial time relation between X/Y of elaping periods to the motion of the present (i. e existence) So, the moving presents of flow time demonstrates both prior existence while implying continued existence. The discontinuities (gap) between states are in question, Do I need to worry about the time dilation quantities as I grind?

 

[jwilliams3]

It sounds good.

 

[PSU-CE]

Yes given that you produced your theories and made your experiments for the purpose of establishing an aid in forming a correct opinion and you realized with dismay that they are still considered by the majority as a substitute for common sense and experience.

Maybe you need a bigger tool

 

[RonA]

No. The main problem is going to be the relationship between your C axis rotation and your X axis diameter. When measured, the distance from centerline to the lobe surface must be uniform for the length of the lobe. This can be easily checked by putting the cam in precision centers on a surface plate and laying a broom handle on top of the cam. Then using feeler gauges you can check the gap between the broom handle and the cam lobe.

 

[lmills]

I can't take this any more.

 

[MMiller]

Make sure and weld up the lobes tall enough they won't fit through the cam bearings and then grind them down just enough to fit.



Sorry, can't put many big words together like you professionals.

I don't see anywhere in that dissertation that you actually 'plugged the dremel in'.

 

[Luke Warmwater]

My advice it to stop trying so hard. Put down the pipe I mean Dremel tool...

 

[Green Machine]

After stoping by and checking out Fletchers kustom kam I payed him 1k to grind me up one. I mean heck if one of the fastest street truck's is running one I should be too.

Nexts were going to strap on a HX-80 and light it off with a little methonal injection.

I had to put the BBq regulator back on the grill so we can eat tonight so Propane is out of the question

NO! NO! NO! Never use a broom handle when checking the gap.



Broom handles are typically made of pine and the grain structure of the pine will react with the molecular structure of the steel causing improper readings. I would use an axe handle that has been measured with a micrometer, marked with a crayon, and cut with a chainsaw.

dremel profiling

I love it!!! You guys made my day, reminds me of a machinist saying, " Iv'e reamed it twice and it's still too big"

now, that's a good one :-laf

 

[RonA]

Ha! That's an easy fix. Any good machinist knows that if the reamer cuts oversize on the first pass, all you have to do is turn it in reverse and make a second pass.

 

[Ol'TrailDog]

Dremel = machinist tool.



Alright, yesterday I couldn't even spell machinist and now I are one. :-laf

The POPE has Spoken :-laf

 

[Scot]

If I have told you once, I have told you a million times that you do not use the micrometer for a c-clamp! And you wonder why your measurements are off...



Just strike it twice with that little 8lb. sledge and file off the spalled bit and you should be in bidness.

 

[Plazman]

c-clamp

Ya know, I actualy did just that when I was a little squirt! My daddy was not a happy camper having his micrometer bent up holding a bird house together!!! :--)

not much better when you send out engine repair parts to a machine shop to turn down a sleeve to repair a cam bore [for this ge engine at work] and when the repair guys got the sleeve back it was too small... so they sent out the spare they had with them... guess what... too small again... prime machining in toronto is useless. . them guys had to drive to buffalo to their home shop, get another sleeve, machine it there, come back and press it into place... that engines' almost together now... i am a little disapointed i didn't get a chance to work on it or take more pictures of the work being done [dayshift was working that, not the backshifts... ]
