Default Best prices on valve train components

So, as it turns out, a slightly out of place #4 cam bearing turns into 4 of 5 bearings toasted and a severely worn lobe on the cam.

Main and rod bearings look o.k. So, I need a cam shaft (stock grind) “finished” cam bearings, and a set of lifters. I have researched all items but I am curious to see who has used whom, and what your results were.

Please post up your recommended suppliers.

Thanks in advance

Out of curiosity, why a stock grind on the cam?

I always recommend Lucky 8 if you're looking for new parts. Those guys have taken care of me a bunch of times, seem to have the best prices in the states, and give forum members a discount on most products.

Just a personal preference.


Lucky 8 seems to have the best price.

thanks Alex

Placed an order with Lucky 8 this morning. Free shipping plus a bit of a discount on the parts.

I may have missed it but is there a coupon code to enter or did you call?

I called direct. No coupon code and none of the items I bought were black Friday specials. I think he knocked 5 bucks off each item and shipping was free.
