Hi guys,

I got a 'chipped' custom welded cam (australia made) and seek for advice if anyone knows any place that offer camshaft repair in Malaysia? Contacted MatSpeed but they can only regrind it back after the chipped surface have been repaired / welded again..

really appreciate if anyone can help me with info's :)

Solid cam means the whole cam is of solid metal and hollow cam means the center have been drilled out to lighten it.

Cast, forged and billet are the process. Cast means poured into a mold and cast out. Forged is different process using different material. The outcome is stronger. Billet process is to cut out the part from a solid chunk of metal. Base of material used this is even stronger.

Wait found this, my explanation not too good, read from here....
Billet? Cast? Forged? What does that mean?

Even uneven surface of cam lobe can cause rubbing problem, creating excess heat to the engine. Worst case scenario is that the damaged part could chip off more....turn into metal chips to shavings, mix with your engine oil....and likely to damage other internal surfaces and bearings...

Any foreman here can advice me?

My spark plug lead has gone brittle and those rubber pieces are in my spark plug chambers.
Tried to take some out but I can't.



I am gonna change my valve cover gasket soon but i still can't access it.
Letting the rubber dropping inside the combustion chamber would be my last resort. :bawling...
