Well I pulled the trigger and sent my cam to delta cams after I talked to Scott for about 25 minutes on the phone, I actually feel bad that I took up so much of his time, but he told me something that sold me against the clifford cams and claims, this also involved the tom Langdon, it was actually about who to beleive between the two "I would take the word of the guy who builds them over the word of a salesman ten times out of ten" but the guys at delta cam were very nice, and it only cost like 72 bucks to regrind my cam, I went with 268 mechanical, with .450 lift at intake and .470 lift at the exhaust which was one of their profiles, and he told me there will/should be no valve to piston clearance, which is sweet. Then there is the engine part, I guess the block was already .030 over so they went to .060, which gives me like 270 cubes practically which is awesome, he didnt want to bore it much more than like .010 or .020 over stock provided that it was at standard, which kinda made me silently chuckle after the bore guy told me where they were at. Have any of you guys ever tried backcutting that valves in the head, machine guy says he will port and polish the head and backcut the valves for like 250 bucks, this a good deal, sounds kinda good, and this involves runners and ports, the full nine. And the deck on the head, he said that he isnt going to deck it because he said that he checked it and said that someone was into that before because the combustion chamber marks and the water pocket marks were not deep as usual so he thinks that someone decked it at least .025 before, can anyone tell me what this would get me for a CR with like a .010 deck on the head with a copper head gasket??? thoughts anyone, comments welcome!!
