Everyday Cars, Light Trucks and SUVs
By the time an engine in a good car or truck needs a rebuild, the rest of the vehicle is often still worth keeping. Remanufacturing the original camshaft is often the cost-effective choice. That goes for four-cylinders, inline sixes and V6s too.
Examples
- Overhead-cam engines, such as the Ford Pinto OHC four-cylinder (on our 2003 spec sheet)
- Inline 4s, inline 6s and V6s: call us. If we have the profile or can copy it, we can usually grind it.
What we can do for this engine: Regrind the original cam to like-new, or supply a new cam.
Import Cars: Japanese and European
We grind cams for imports too, from daily drivers to built street cars. Call with the make, model and engine, and we'll tell you what we can do.
