Thanks Howard and David. I too was curious re the 're-ground route'. I know from my working days that they have developed some pretty impressive chromium steel alloys today that are super hard and abrasion resistant. Guess it boils down to the 'job you get', and how good the regrind place is at resurfacing. The machine shop that I am using to rebuild my motor thinks the cam being worn 'past spec' is almost a given and they are asking me about availability should one be required. They tell me that the old one can be redone but an aftermarket reproduction or a NOS would be better, so I think that kind of 'tells the story'.
