I accidentally typed "crankshaft" in the subject but my question is on what to do about the camshaft. (Fixed that, MJS)
New Lycoming 6-cyl camshaft = $1,111 + shipping from Aircraft Specialties.
Inspect, grind, Parkerize ~ $380 + shipping from Aircraft Specialties, at least as I read it in their fee schedule.
Is there any argument either way? It's always nice to have factory new components, but my cam looks really nice at 2,400 hours. No pitting or corrosion. Can't speak for any NDT inspection though. Is there any argument for a known quantity?
How is the grind performed anyway? They don't weld it up then grind it down do they?
