Just got a shaft that failed under initial break in from a friend who was throwing it out. One lobe failed. Its a Comp Cam is it worth sending back to be repaired?

I dont think it can be saved

I would not trust it agian

YEARS ago it was done quite frequently. Budget racers welded and reground their cams to custom specs, and kept the numbers a secret. Theoretically you can still do this very same thing, but the juice isnt worth the squeeze. A new cam costs about the same. Ever try to repair a cell phone? They're disposable now, just like a toaster, a clock radio, a Prius and a condom. Remember when the high school sex ed teachers used to tell us to clean and REUSE them? Wait... this just got really wierd.

wierd real fast

Unless its a billet core, I don't think it can be reground.

I would assume that Comp Cams would say that the initial start up procedure was your fault so that would void any warranty implied.

I sent them an email to ask but have not received a reply yet.
