[Mgs] Cam costs

[Max Heim]

Eek, MG cams are expensive compared to American V8 cams. I didn't see a sale
price on the Moss site.

But machine shop work is expensive, too. It would only take about 3 hours of
shop time to hit the price of a new cam. I don't know if anyone has an
exchange service. Remember, you'll need a new set of lifters, too, either
way.
