this L-100 project prodded me along on checking out what my late father had stashed.
since about the 50s &60s era. I found some cam masters he had engineered ,some flathead v-8 and a six cylinder chevy cams he spent days machining and they are maked such as pt-1 and had some dates marked on them and say in his notes things suchas (winner at xxx track ). years before in the early sixtys he done a lot of experimenting with diffrent engine componants like pistons with teflon skirt rings he made so he could leave extra skirt clearances. He always told me that the looser the engine the faster it could run as long as it could get spark and fuel at the right time, he made a few sets of engine bearings out of teflon ,His words were the teflon will resist heat and the hotter she can run the better,as long as it dont get too hot.I am still going through his research notes and parts that he stored away, the cam masters are as I remember have a name etched like Berco or Barco?,
I think it is the name of the machine, Do any of you recognize the Berco name is there such a grinding machine still in existance. or can these masters even be used in todays world? it is amazing to me what a person has tucked away and long been forgotten, I am the only one from my immediate family that tried to follow his steps.
even though the technology is long out dated the principles can still be put to use.
so pass on what you learned to someone that will keep our automotive history alive
for many years to come.
