Bomber exhaust cams
Laverda Dave:
That's bad news Roy. I would give them another call and ask for Mike Newman. They have been excellent in all my dealings with them.
They may be swamped with work as they do a lot of racing cams and the new season is about to start. Still, that's no excuse for your parts to be stuck under a mountain of paperwork for six weeks!

I have pitting on the exhaust cam of my Bomber too and I guess it would be a job for Newman cams in due course.
I looked at this in the manual though and seems the exhaust cam was originally welded on the lobe surfaces with a hard material (I guess Stellite or somethink like it) What is the situation when Newman repair these cams? .. do they repair the damage with hard material ? Surely they don't just reprofile the lobe profile?

They said the hardened part was easily thick enough to take a slight regrind. But they also said they would weld a pad on the follower and didn't. I think it all depends on which Newman you speak to. I got Ken who was just about useless. They did a regrind on the follower and wrote it off, I had to replace it with NOS. You've got me concerning about that cam lobe now.

I guess this should be Induction Heat Treated.🤔
Yes I’m a pedant. 🤣
