RE: [T3] Engine machining... (flat cam story)

["Erkson, Toby" <toby.erkson@intel.com>]

<x-charset iso-8859-1>I had an Engle 110 cam go real FLAT!  The biggest reason was due to too much
heat from my [previous] 2L engine (it was full-flowed, though).  It was new
when installed.  Don't know how many miles were on the engine but it was
rebuilt because of a crack in the case and not due to catastrophic engine
failure.
