Crashtd420 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 (edited) Probably not gonna find new but companies can do a regrind.... I used this place for my L series... They were able to do the grind and with new springs, retainers and correct lash pads. http://schneidercams.com/nissan.aspx Edited March 18 by Crashtd420 Quote Link to comment

They just grind a new profile into the existing cam to give you more lift or duration.... Usually it comes off the base circle... Which is why new lash pads are needed.... this keeps the valve train geometry correct....

datzenmike Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Don't worry about any lash pads on an A series, there are none. The small amount removed is easily accounted for on the push rod/rocker arm adjustment. Over head cam engines are different, no push rods. 1 Quote Link to comment
