Slightly Bent Comp 270H

Post by sparky72 »

Hi all,

A while back when I was still putting together my 390, I ordered a Comp 270H cam from Summit. When it arrived it had a bit of a bind when I installed it, so I had my machinist put it on v-blocks and measure runout on the center journal. As I recall, it was like 5-7 thousandths. I didn't want to mess around with whacking it to bring it back to true, so I ended up getting a different camshaft. But when I told Summit about it, they just refunded me the money and didn't want the cam back.

It feels wrong to sell it since I already got my money back. So if you know how to bring a camshaft back to true, please take it! Just help me out with shipping. It's just taking up space.

Let me know what you think! I just hate to throw it out when someone could probably make use of it.

Still available, but shipping is going to be expensive. I got a couple of quotes that were both in the neighborhood of $40 (both were for shipping CA to OH).
