Comp has sucked for the last 10 years. 50% of what I buy goes back, mis matched pushrod lengths, parts returned and sent back to stock, resold with flaws... just overall poor QC.
STOP POTATO HATE!

No. But they need an outlet. I stopped at a gas station two days ago, out here in the sticks, and there was a fancy new Tesla sitting in the lot, dead as a stone. Guy was waiting for help I guess. I was going to ask him if he needed to borrow a few bucks for gas. "I know it's electric. I just though you might like to pour it over the car and set it on fire" But I didn't. Just chuckled to myself and drove off in my antique tech beater that I could drive across country without worrying about finding someplace to recharge it in the middle of the night. Then being stuck there while it charges and hoping I don't get mugged.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I was at Callies back in July. They gave me the nickel tour and I was noticing huge piles of cams and cam cores in addition to all the crankshafts. I was completely unaware they made cams and cam cores. My tour guide informed me that they had bought some of the cam equipment from Crane. I asked them what made them to decide to get in the cam business. The answer was "nobody else was doing it". He said they were doing well with it, suppling cores to all the big hitters. Crane had for years. So at least that has not gone away. Todd Glad to see they picked up the ball and ran with it. Not an easy thing to do nowadays. When I last had a custom ground cam done, i was told by Engje that Crane was the major supplier and that cores were in short supply
