Camshaft replacement question…
At what point do you guys replace your camshaft? Not trying to be cheap during the Jubilee engine rebuild, but starting to bleed a little bit and would rather put the $164 into something else . The distributor drive gear shows wear, how much is too much?
I figure the shaft is 60 years old, It will probably outlive me. At what point would you guys put in a new camshaft on a rebuild? I've done a lot of reading on this site and seems like most folks don't replace cams.
I should add the lobes show little wear and spec out fine.
Thanks for any input.
