My guess is that you might be the best source for the 5 bearing cam too.
I'm pretty sure you CAN do it, just not sure you'd WANT to...
I think I know that most roller tappet stuff is made from billet, so carving the 5 bearing cam for the A/B shouldnt be a big deal, once the setup program is overcome, but how many is enough to make it worth it, cost=wise?
I don't have a clue about that, but I'm sure its a question that has to have a good answer before anybody is going to jump in and start grinding.
I'm watching this, curious about the internals also. Hope it takes off.
Good Luck, Tod.
