Joyner cams

I found a company that specializes in welding and regrinding cams. I think it was rocmoc was asking about awhile back. Would be interesting to see what they would do.

Yes it was me. Did you talk to them? I want a torque grind. I will give up a lot of top end for more pulling power.

I have not talked to them. A statement in the website said phone and inet are down.

Thanks. Is there or do we have the specs on the current stock Chery cam in the 1100cc engine? I am sure they are going to ask for that info. One or both of us can contact them after the first of the year. My biggest concern will be shims, Lenny said he thought that Honda shims would work, after the cam is ground. May even have to take a Trooper to them to look at to be able to do the complete mock up.

Flatbed, where are you? I know you know this stuff much better than I do!

Looking at their inquire form, it appears that they don't need specs we can't get for ourselves. They need to know the bore, stroke, rod length, number of valves, number of cylinders, and valve stroke. I would be inclined to also provide them with the engine head with valves in place and a piston along with the exact height that the piston goes above the cylinder wall and also head gasket thickness. With this information they should be able to work out the rest themselves. Kinarfi, if you get your engine apart, measure the rod length pin center to pin center and make an impression of the piston top to show valve releif clearance cutouts. You probably can wrap the piston with a piece of sheep metal and pour a lead cap over the piston without hurting the piston. The melting point of lead is less then half that of the piston. The cam company would only need this information once then they could modify cams without further input. Bet it's not cheap.
