i used to grind crankshafts, i wanted to actually see the grinder grinding.

[@ralphcruz8484]

Can you make a cam out of titanium material, if so how much more would it cost

[@siliconvalleyengineer5875]

fantastic copy exact process, Comp Cam's has a marvelous facility.

[@GeneralElectricCNC]

Nice video and clean shop! You mentioned at the beginning that you were omitting the details of cast cam cores. Lately it has come to my attention that whoever is supplying your castings are leaving alot of "Spatter" on the parts and after grinding the profile, this material is left on the camshaft and shipped to the customer. These pieces are not bonded to the camshaft very strongly, and they end up falling off when the lifters seat and go through the oil pump and luckily get stopped by the filter. If those Cores were shot-blasted before grinding it would eliminate the problem. If you shipped me a camshaft that looked like the ones I have seen, I would ship it back to you! Your Q.C. Department really should address this problem. All of the Billet's look good, why shouldn't the cast units? What do ya say?

I see that jack pirtle cup. Man that's some good chicken. I use bullet cams but comps been around for so long. I bought a hi energy 268 in the 70's and designed by Harold brookshire. I'm old 😅

[@davidsabyan2481]

Truly awsome, thank you for a very detailed manufacturing process.

[@kirans6992]

Hi.. It's great .. Can u share hollow camshaft manufacturing and advantages

[@toddclark332]

Thank you, for sharing very interesting process it takes to make our cams

[@Compcams1976]

Thanks Todd! Glad you're enjoying this series of videos. Some other very cool ones coming up.

[@drcolster]

JUST RECENTLY I ASKED COMP ABOUT A 60mm CAM I HAVE, I ASKED SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, BASICALLY GOT BACK INFO I HAD ON BOX, PLUS LOBE LIFT WHICH I MEASURED MAYSELF,I HOPE THEY CAN HELP ME MORE IN THE FUTURE, I'M LOOKING TO REGRIND AND CHANGE SPECS IF IT CAN BE DONE..GREAT FACILITY,AND GREAT CAMSHAFTS..

[@laytonturpin864]

Competition Cams are the ONLY valve train components I’ve ever or WILL trust and use in my engine builds. Other companies are good, but if you demand perfection, durability and technical support, CompCams is the ONLY way to go, bar none!

[@bangisibanno256]

Thank you for this video

[@Abreezeducttesting]

Thanks for the tutorial, very informative

[@mannyk291]

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

Start to finish,, I see what you did there.

[@johnlowe4473]

Curious to see if you guys are the ones that manufacture camshafts for Jegs?

[@RRC1982]

Congrats! Truly awsome...

[@nhra7110]

[@jeffhyatt5623]

Can you grind a cummins 4bt camshaft ?

[@jakefriesenjake]

How much for a custom ground cam?

[@v8packard]

Same price as standard, cataloged cams.

[@ramyarukmali4032]

can I order a camshaft for my 4fg1 engine? I can't find a single new camshaft within my country (Sri Lanka)

[@BERPSU1]

How does your MSE process compare to REM polishing?

[@Compcams1976]

Without getting too deep into the chemistry of the REM process, the chemicals that are used in the REM work well with iron but are not optimal when you get into the more complex steels that are used in camshaft materials. MSE is a mechanical process to polish the cam surface.

[@justingeraldi2304]

Awesome video,,thanks for making. I know your calling it a cam core,, I think it makes more since to call it a cam blank.. when I hear The word (core) I immediately think of a used part..

[@engineninjaChris]

Can you grind a custom cam for a Ford 2300 sohc mini stock engine. If so who would I need to talk to when I call?

[@Compcams1976]

Hey Chris. There are cores made for that engine. You can call our tech line or use our instant chat to talk to a tech. Later in the week is always better and we'll see if we can make what you're looking for.

[@jseaverseaver]

Love It!

[@Compcams1976]

Thanks!

[@SARJENT.]

Is he Canadian?

[@v8packard]

You didn't show the gears being hobbed or cut.

[@geebopbaluba1591]

I just installed a xe262 4x4 in my Chevy 350 and within 5 minutes of the break in period it wiped a lobe. Now I have to pull my engine and take it down and see what damage all that metal did. Sorry camshaft material

[@oldmanintheshopbuiltnotbou8726]

why are your flat tappet cams and lifters failing

[@408SPLKINGS]

Did he say carbon fiber cutting wheel ? Wtf ??? Explanation please !!!

[@RadicalRevs]

[@Dougarrowhead]

Look at all the sheep at comp.

[@sharons9367]

All the effort making this KZbin video maybe you should concentrate more on replying to your customers ! Over a week and no replies 👎

[@Dougarrowhead]

Comp website is garbage. Too much bullshit comes up when doing keyword searches that are totally unrelated to intended part.
