As the subject asks! I know that in doing this, they make the base circle smaller, which I think would necessitate some kind of adjustability in the valve train. Would the adjustable rockers in the early LA engines (273) or the 318 poly correct this problem?

Looking for a cam for my 318 poly, and one cam shop told me that simply regrinding my original cam would be the most cost effective for that engine. True?

I've had a couple reground, no problems, but you do need need adjustable valve train. Sounds like you have that so shouldn't be a problem, guess push rod length could be an issue depending on how big a change you are making, no experience with your combo here though, RB guy here.

you probably don't need adjustible rockers, but you may need to get new (longer) pushrods, or you could perhaps mill the heads a skoash to account for the smaller base circle

Iv had one once, never again.....cam's are cheap these day's so id rather go brand new and be done with it. Does the regrind come with a warrenty?

Isn't anyone going to say "use lash caps"?

i was wondering about this as well...i have read in a few places that apparently regrinding a stock cam isnt a good idea because it messes with the heat treat, but not sure how true that is...

to those that had bad experiences with reground cams, what exactly happened? and what other than new pushrods and adjustable rockers is nescessary?

Cam motion used to regrind my roller cams for me, so I could try different ideas. This was back in 1990, they charged 100 bucks and you could watch it being done. I would imagine the price has went up by now
