    My 7M camshaft profile measurements

    Measured by me. My BC stage 2 intake cam is in the car ATM. I will measure it when I pull it out. Looks like the 7MGTE intake cam has more lift and about 10 degrees more durataion than the NA cam.

    Valve seat cutter use?

    Anybody got experience using neway valve seat cutters on the 7M head? How hard do you have to press when turning the cutter around? Do the cutters need regular replacement? I bought a second hand set and dont know how sharp the cutters are relative to a new set.
