    Just wondering if anyone regrinds these or has a decent use for them. I hate to get rid of it if somebody has a need.

    Don't throw them away just yet! Check the cam gear for damage or excessive wear.(most used stock BBB cams I've seen have negligible wear)The gears that look good can be removed and reused on cams that have suffered damage due to lack of lubrication.This can be an economical alternative to replacing that favorite or new cam/lifter setup.

    northcorner Guess what I'm thinking..

    martian can machine the gears off of the cam and reinstall it on another cam. i bought an old kb107 cam that he did that to. it's cheaper than buying a new cam and lifters just because the cam gear is worn. i'm not sure, but i think he charges around $20 to replace a cam gear for you. you'll have to check with him for the exact cost.
