sand blasting not a wire wheel is the best way to remove rust!

A dual action sander with 80 grit pads works wonders on internal engine parts.!!

I want a zombie smiley for threads just like this one.

The funny thing is that CamKing offered to regrind it for free / the cost of shipping and then a few posts down the OP asks how much it would cost to regrind a cam. This thread is full of fail.

I dunno, if he's anything like me then he might still be waiting for a "nice weekend to get some stuff done that I've been putting off for a while," like the nitrous kit that's been sitting in a box in my garage since like 2005.

I was actually realizing that I remembered reading the "then you'd have to replace 4 cam's" comment...does that mean I'm old...or been here too long...or both?
