Folks,
Based on what I have read in past and present forum threads about rebuilding a SV 1725 engine most of the basics are clear (e.g., hot tank the block, clear oil and water passages, surface the block, balance all moving parts, rebuild the oil pump, 3 angle valve grind, surface the cylinder head).
The questions arise regarding which modifications generate the greatest bang (in a relative sense) without breaking the bank. The two that rise to the top are re-grinding the camshaft (the KB grind at Delta Camshafts) and the Vizard modification to the head.
Q1. In performing the camshaft grind is it a brand new camshaft that is ground to the new specs or is it the existing cam ground to the new specs?
Q2. If I were to go for a Vizard modification how would I get that done? What are the specs to follow? and who is a reliable shop to perform the work?
I realize that these are questions that have probably been asked before but I'll claim ignorance as my knowledge level is just enough to show how little I actually know. I appreciate you indulgence!
