I myself prefer Crane Cams and they use the 8620 cores I like (gold/copper color between lobes)

Erson uses a Camshaft Machine Core and their have been more cases where this core the ICL is off (not the grinders problem, the maker of the core)

They claim there is a master lobe to grind from in simple terms or the dowel. If they grind off the dowel to make it perfect hooked to a timing set it can go through the heat treat but if they grind off the "master lobe" it will be perfect but your ICL may be off

This is why you see so many with CMC cores and ICL's way off when they dont degree the cam, no big issue just degree it

Crane's 8620 cores are dead on and they do them in house just like they did before
