I am retoring a 1955 KHK motor, mounted on my 53 K-model frame. All the cam lobe top edges all have a different bevel on them, apparently from 45+ years of use (it sat for the other 18 years til I found it). I have been trying for several months to find replacement cams for my 1955 KHK motor...unfortunately, we have not found any. A couple small independent Harley shops said they had them, but failed to deliver after 4 1//2 months of waiting. I found a shop in Oregon that builds and machines Cams for racing cars, street cars, trucks, and motorcycles. The technician said he can build up the lobes using an Argon weld and then grind back to specs, which we have from a copy of an old repair manual. He said they will be as good or better than new.
I am looking for someone with an educated opinion or experience that can advise me on this...please PM or post here if you can offer anything.
Thanks!
