Has anyone used Franklin Cams or Auckland Cams??

[Minaj]

Just wondering if anyone out here has used one of the companies before to do a bit of work on standard camshafts and upgrading them to a higher spec ?

Adrian is awesome to deal with. We have used them for simple road cams through to cams for the helicopter we did. Made several sets of billet cams until we got the power where we wanted it then made a set of steel to use as dont really want billet at 2000+ ft in the air hahaha

Hahaha, have u installed 272 cams from them before into a subby head ?, cause I\'ve heard that there\'s a bit more that involved when installing them from numerous people. Just wanting to make it easier for you when you build the motor for me.

oh hahahaha nice didnt know you were on here, thats awesome!!!l. We use our local specialists (DAZZA) to complete all our headwork who even did the rebuilding and fitment testing of the cams for the helicopter in conjunction with Franklins. Thats why there are specialists around to do a bloody good job at what they are good at.

yep I used franklin cams, pretty sure the stem height was messed up (when they reprofile your cam shaft they recommend building up your valve stems).

We had to take them back there to get cut down as they were way out for the shimless buckets I got but even for the shim under buckets I had on it they were way out.

cost a bit of time to sort out and money but service was ok I also got upgraded springs as well as a reprofiled cam.

Have no idea if the profile they gave will work I asked for a cam that suits track work but also rally, motorkhanas etc. Time will tell.

Agreed. We use Franklins for all of our cams unless customer specifies otherwise
