ok so i heard about razor edging your camshafts. i heard this will take about 9 lbs off the rotating force. is this true? and has anyone done this and seen actual results in a stock engine? thanks for any responses!!

 

i dunno but ill consult with my engine builders and my machine shop

I think you are refferring to knife edging your crankshaft. You cannot modfiy cams.

Knife edged cranks, if not done properly, can cause bad harmonics, especially when paired with a light flywheel or non-dampened crank pulley. You may see premature bearing wear.

If you want your crank machined, a good balancing and micropolish is all you need.

 

yeah sorry i meant crankshaft i got a little ahead of myself, yeah i know about the premature bearing wear but when this is done, does it really take 9 lbs off? i know it will create more horse power and torque because the shafts are moving faster and cutting through air and oil faster.
