Where to get 4AFE billet cams?

[Billzilla]

I'm after some virgin blanks. Web cams make some but they come with profiles on them, and they're too small for what I want.

I'm guessing Web could build them up...... But I'm also guessing you're not into hardwelding them......

Have you tried Tighe cams? They can pretty much make anything happen.

if web do ground billets surely they would sell some blanks for the right price? otherwise Sam_Q has been looking for billets for 4AFE rather unsuccessfully for quite a while...

I had a look at the Web site and they don't seem to have any email contact - I'll have to ring them and I find quite often the Yanks can't understand the Aussie accent. I can do a pretty convincing Californian one, but I'd rather not.

What we got here, is......failure to communicate.

hey bill an idea why they insist on shim under buckets after any profile that has 8.9mm of lift?

this doesnt make sense to me seeing that the shim diameter alone on a 4afe is about the same size as the whole bucket on a 4age that can be used to run a 10+mm lift.

Also what model engine was it again that has a shimless design thats compatable?

1SZ-FE can be used in 4AGE

oh I meant what buckets can be used on the 4afe? they have a larger radius bucket

The bigger the lift the bigger the chance of the top of the cam lobe catching the edge of the shim and spitting it out. The reason is the bigger the cam the bigger the load as the valve spring compresses, etc. I don't know how they picked that particular lift as being critical though, there's a few variables.
1NZ or 2NZ 31mm buckets are what you're after.

Tighe can custom make a billet for you if you can't find a cast one. Not cheap, but will fit your needs
