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.

Last time I checked Teuton and helms are not Gracia and Bachelder. Sammy what did Bruce or Danny say when you called and asked them?
