Re: Insufficient Hardness of New Lifters & Cams
The Boss doesn't like folks straying into stuff that doesn't have much to do with old Fords. Some are more argumentative than others so he stops that stuff too. It's all about keeping the peace and staying focused on what this forum is all about.
There have been problems with some of the foreign made hollow adjustable cam followers. The solid chilled cast iron followers were good that were made by Johnson but there are other brands of those too. They have to follow the manufacturing processes to keep the hardness on some of this stuff. Cams can warp under certain hardening procedures but I don't know what the cam grinders do to restore hardness after a grind. The thickness of the surface treatment can be measured in the thousandths on those.
