It is Web cams.
They emailed me a receipt today and asked for me to call them. So I did- they said the cams are done and will ship out tomorrow.
I don't know how many people work there, so don't get me wrong- I've dealt with 1 & 2 man shops before, example head porting and long times and limited communication are expected.
I just hoped for some sort of a response after being told another 10 business days (after months) so emailing once on the 3rd week afterward, once on the 4th week, and hearing crickets.
They are nice enough on the phone. I did have to repeatedly mention the split timing to which they kept saying no problem they got it- but when I pointed out the specs they gave me as stock measurements should have more data points they finally went back to measure again and said- ohhh..
At this point I just hope my valves don't kiss my pistons, my springs don't bind, my valves don't float..you know all the fun stuff that falls on me and not them.
I will be turning the engine over several times slowly by hand before firing up to hopefully feel at least static crown contact.
Certainly not the first time- I have had custom cams (larger) made for several engines over the years that nobody ever tried before. Nothing has died yet- other than my wallet.
