Subject:      looking a the ol' cam shaft

After talking to Jim at Bus Boys(thanks jim), I went home to look at mine and figure out which one I needed. Well, after a bit of serching I found the little that says how far off from 0 the cam is, -4. I was a bit suprised by this. I think my motor has be rebuilt once, the bus has 203000 miles on it, so I don't know if this is the orignal cam. Is there a way that I can tell if this is the correct cam. The lobes on the old one are very groved. This may seem picky but I want to do this right.

On a second cam note, what kinds of risks am I taking getting a reground cam.

Thanks for any info. Steve Pribyl VWII72@aol.com 72 camper - The Happy Camper
