I have found cam bearings for my FAB2 the only ones I found are .020. So I am looking for someone that will grind and polish a cam. Any ideas?

Ask at your local engine shop. if they don't they should know who can.

I tried and they all say they wont touch it. they will turn and balance my crank and that is it. I asked and have called at least a dozen places. Now I am looking out side Mo.

If the cam bearing journals are ok, might be cheaper to have bushing made our of brass, to replace the old bearings, rather then cut the cam to the bearing size.
