How can they change their mind now I thought this was a done deal a year ago.. Not that they will ck for it any way.

Until it's in writing it's only hearsay not a rule.

Well, isn't that just precious?

Anyone seen a ruling either way, in writing?

I wonder how many have machined blocks for 55mm and 60mm camshaft cores.

Does it apply to Super Stock too?

There would be a LOT of illegal SS engines if that were the case. Any cam, right?

That's the truth. Could change or be enforced area to area. If you spin a cam bearing and have to repair a block, that means your out?

Now that is funny! There is a difference between repairing a block and machining the camshaft tunnel to use a bigger diameter cam.

I've never done it, but pontiac has problems with cam bearings. If you spin one and do excessive damage to the journal how would you repair it? They don't make an oversize cam bearing for my deal. I think the 50mm would be logical for a repair.

If it's not in the rule book it cannot be enforced. If that was the case they could make up any rule they wanted to and bounce someone just because they wanted to.
