I'm thinking as well of just going ahead and re-grinding the Howard steel cam. I can't use it as is and don't have any plans for it, so might as well use it, if I build a race motor it will get a new core anyhow. The lifters on that cam look strange to me amost a spiral pattern on the face from machining. Is there a different way the lifter face and cam profile is shaped from a cast to steel cam? It's almost like it isn't ground to have lifter rotation and the lobes on the cam seem amost straight across like a roller, of course this is hard to tell with the eye. the edges of the lobes are relieved though, no sharp like a roller.
