The processes are different depending on what the cam actually needs. I
had one resurfaced and then reground to a different cam grind by Delta.
Call one of the vendors below for additional info on what you need or
want. Both are excellent sources for Healey cams. I saved a bunch of
money over having to buy new when the machinist told me mine was toast.

Subject: Camshaft Work
I have one tappet that is badly pitted on the bottom. My machinist says
that
probably means I will have to have some work done on the camshaft. He
will
measure the cam this week and let me know.
I have heard several terms in connections with camshafts: resurface,
reprofile, and regrind. Are these all different words for the same
process?
Could you recommend someone who knows Austin-Healeys? I can't find any
names
in the archives.
TIA
