Any update on the cam situation?

What are you going to CNC them out of? What's the QC on the base material going to be? Are you going to have data on the metallurgy of the base material? There are many questions....

yeah these CNC followers from some highschool project are going to be super cheap and high quality lol

I doubt the super cheap part because whoever will make them will not let that happen lol.

I can share the files if anyone wants.

PM sent

Hell yes, some CNC'd followers would be amazing, or maybe just maybe someday someone offerings a CNC'd short block.

I have CAD files for the rocker arms … and the entire S54. At this point (wait time wise), it might be worth it to CNC some and then get them sent off to get DLC coated.

BUT, I'm not sure how accurate the CAD file is. If I weren't so lazy I'd 3d print some and then pull a rocker arm off my car and take measurements to compare.

what is the source of the CAD so that you question its accuracy?

[Stilt]

Yes. It looks like someone's senior design project or something. Definitely not an OEM model.

Edit: it's better than nothing but I'd verify measurements before quoting parts or something.

I sent you a PM, have a question for you (Am also in Ga)

Yeah, If I were to go down the path I'd probably 3d print one, on a Bamboo 3d printer, and then compare measurements to an oem one.

You should do some confirmation of measurements on that cad file. If it's the same one I have, the dimensions are incorrect in a few let places on the block.

Is it in Italian ?

Edit: see images of the model vs the actual bell housing bolt pattern.

Now this would be a legendary forum group buy / order

That would be cool!!
