Well as long as it's taking them all to do this cam, it ought to come with a bezel, girdle, and table to match.  |

I'm pretty sure Brent could have built the entire engine by now including machining and checking every spec and tolerance three times over.
All this and the SFT engine has a 50/50 chance of living.

But he has to build the car before he can put the engine in it, you know. Dropping the mill is just about the last thing you do. I don't even think he's got the bottom end of the engine done yet. Jeez, he might not even have it torn apart and hot tanked yet.

Nice try. When you call to order a REAL engine from him, expect his phone to be busy for a year or so...

Brent's cam was ordered 3/07/11. Uh, today is 4/05/11. For a cam? Really?
A custom set of pistons maybe, or maybe a backordered set of roller rockers, possibly, but a cam? I think Comp Cams, Crower, etc. would take a couple days.

Richard said last week that it should be any day, so maybe today will be the lucky day. Ellie is all set to have her picture taken with it; she's got her cone collar off and is ready to go.

Not to be confused with the "Richard Treatment" from Halibrand.  |

Don't sweat it Patrick. I'm not in a hurry for this cam...
I'm not going to complain on delivery time of a free camshaft anyway...

I think Chas would agree with me and say it doesn't look "free" peering down from the cheap seats.
