Re: Nitrided Cam
Talked with Bullet this morning. Valve spring pressure was way off, too light, causing out of control valve train which bent valves and in turn tweaked the camshaft. I bought the engine new 0 passes. Now I need a cam that is 6-10 weeks out. Sending this one in to have repaired

Re: Nitrided Cam
I ran a nitrided Bullet cam in my Cleveland for a short time. I changed it because the particular profile that was chosen just didn't make enough power. What I did notice about the nitriding was that when I adjusted the valves, when turning the engine over, it squeaked. Changed the cam, the squeak went away. No biggie, just weird.
