Your 18, and taking a rather inflexible position here... I've been doing this for 22 years, and havent used an MP cam in 8 years. You quote a book printed in the 80s, and partially financed by MP. Try bringing your build into the internet age and use a cam that takes advantage of things those books' authors never fully researched. You've gotten a bunch if good info here. It's your choice to use it or not. I can tell you, 98% of cam failures are a result of builder or first start errors. Not a brand name. Read something written in the last 4 years and good luck to you. It's cool that you're a young gun who's goig against the grain of your peers. Which is why I find it funny you choose to rely on yourself and not the guys that did it before.
