Has anyone heard from Bob? It be interesting to hear why these cams are showing lobe wear, and some being outperformed when back to back tests were completed vs another off the shelf camshaft. I've heard him critique others camshaft designs, it be interesting to hear.
Maybe its assembly error by some of the pro engine builders.
Maybe its the springs supplied by afr on his "custom" heads he gets machined especially for marine endurance applications. You know, the same ones that you can get from any afr dealer with a inconel valve upgrade.
Maybe its the builders secretly sabatoging the builds to make him look bad
Maybe its the cam companys fault
Maybe its the lifter companies fault
Maybe its the brand of oil used
Maybe its the block isnt thermally stable
Maybe its a big scam to put him out of business .
Maybe its the lifter bore clearance again.

I guess I must have missed where anywhere in internet land its posted that I have a MK cam or ever had. You make this BS up as you go along.
As I have said in multiple places, I and others I know have bought a ton of parts from Bob ( with ZERO issues), but that does not include cams.
I don't believe that I have ever told anyone to buy a custom cam. I very well may have told someone to call Bob if they had a question on multiple parts including cams. I also highly doubt that there is any post from me defending him, as there has never been a need to. If you think I'm getting in the middle of this thread and saying any opinion, you are sadly mistaken.

Zone 5 defended Bob in. My thread before from what I recall...
When you call Bob have him chime in here, if he still has the ability to

Do you think if you say the same BS enough times it will come true? Your middle name must be hillary.

My big annoyance with MK is all the friggin hoops he had me jumping through, flow benching etc, thinking that I was doing legit due diligence when it was just a ruse to cover his lack of experience.

I don't want this thread locked let's keep to the facts here, this is clearly an issue as seen here with proof, no agenda at all, besides warning others
