Gunner just recently got a flame-spray thingy, that technology might help.
Stellite is a bitch but it's like a layer of carbide. All things
concidered, the design is the problem. If you can't win the game
easily...change the rules!

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the replies guys,

I will check into the Stellite material for the cam and see if it can
work and if it is cost effective to use. I was hoping to find somthing
that's not to exotic or hard to work with.

I cannot use a McGill cam follower becasue they don't make them with a
3/16" OD and I can't use a standard cam follower, I need to use the
method described above.

Regarding F. McDuffee's suggestion about the laminated cam, how does
this help with contact stress issues ?

Thanks again,
John
