whats the deal with all the aftermarket cams. i hear and see on the board a lot of people wiping cam lobes. im getting ready to pull my motor apart and would like to install a new cam, maybe a 206 206, is it worth it?

If the motor is already opened up. do it. An aftermarket camshaft will be an advantage overall.

I'm going with a 218/218, But I'm looking for 10 sec timeslips. Just depends on what you want to do with the car. HTH.....Jason

That subject can get hairy. It's more of an opinion. Most aftermarket manufacturers provide excellent quality. I have always ran Crane Cams in my Chevys, however, I had a Lunati in a TR before. I don't know what name brand I'll go with this time. Probably whatever is on sale

from all the searching i did i see what you mean. i just dont want to be pulling my motor apart 2000 miles from now to replace a cam again.

If you do all the correct procedures with a typical rebuild you should have no problems. Hi Volume cover/pump. Also very important to use NEW lifters.
