Who here has had their cams reground by delta cams?
He told me he gave me the same grind that he has giv'n everyone else but what worries and annoyed me was the fact he said the cams may need shims (they come with the cams)...has anyone else needed to run shims?
On the plus side, the service was GREAT! sooo fast and the pricing isnt half bad...i got a free t-shirt to boot
I used delta cams a few years ago for my cams. They did a good job, did it quickly, and had a decent price. I dont rememeber hearing anything about shims though. I think I may have gotten screwed though, I never got a free t-shirt!

You mean lash caps? If so its not a big deal as long as you can find the right thickness. The 4.6 modular Fords fit our valves if I remember correctly.
If it is a stock regrind it should not require lash caps, mine did not.
You did get screwed, I got a t-shirt as well & excellent/fast service too.
Measure the base circle and the lobe on those cams and report back.....
Yep, you got screwed,Originally Posted by Turbo224

Depending on how much the base circle was reduced in the re-grinding process, you might need the shims/lash caps to correct the valve train geometry and keep rockers from falling off. It's not a big deal, just something you have to deal with when running a re-grind or small base circle cam (mostly V-8s).

My stock regrinds from them from a few years ago are just fine. So is my cool Delta Cams Four Play T-Shirt!
i guess i forgot to say that i didnt get a stock regrind
I must have gotten screwed then, because 3 years ago when they did mine they told me that they only did a stock regrind for a TIII.
heres the cam sheet
Thanks for the spec's
sooo im i going to need to run the washers or? also if i remove the lifters im i going to have to buy cindys new style? i dont want to have the issue of the lifters not pumping up do to the little plastic seals possibly breaking
so im assembling the head now and im guessing i need to run the shims? no one has answered my question yet, do the specs i posted up not give anough info?
also should i install the washers first then the factory metal disk then the adjuster? or?
You got a stage 1 grind right? if so, its very mild, put the lifter together without any washers.
Haven't you got it running yet?

haha no i havent...
BIG ISSUE! i think they reversed the 'grind' of each cam! Im looking at the cams and noticed that some one wrote 'exh' on the side of the intake cam and 'int' on the side of the exhaust cam!
How do i go abouts finding out if they ground the cams properly??!?!
Look at the slot for the retainer, maybe it was a typo on there part?
There are only 2 ways, a cam doctor and installing them, then using a dial indicator and degree wheel to check them.
