Hi, I wonder if Paul Burke still are around and making special grind M30 camshafts.
If so how to get in contact with him.

Thank you, but I know there are several cams to buy.
I was thinking of get a special grind of my own.
A while ago I had email contact with him about this but he seams to have ended his project.

engine machine shops are a thing of the past
sad to say
too many new better products w/ better quality.

I don´t think there is a market for new types of grinding on M30 cams.
There just us old guys that work with theses old engines now.

Paul has been MIA for several years.

Schrick and Dbilas
Know what you are doing before you buy.

I still talk with Paul on occasion
Not in business.

Couldnt someone talk one of Paul’s good designs, map the profile and have a new one custom ground to match? If authorized, any shop that's done a motor with Burke cam and pistons could have these replicated by one of the big cam and piston places. Norris used to do stuff like that ... for a price (are they still around?).

Did you try Mark Hutto at [email protected]
He was my contact when I bought Paul Burke cam and pistons

Regrinds of high lift, long duration cams aren’t for everyone.
New cam stocks are crazy hard to find.

 

[Bert-Ola]

Thanks for the answers.
I´m looking into building an high rev M30 just to see what it takes.
Short stroke, big bore and as light parts as possible, aiming 8k rpm maybe more if possible.

Sounds like you want a full race motor with MTBR measured in tens of hours. You are in Europe so maybe you should call shops which check support vintage race CSL’s and E24’s?

In order to run those rpm the motor should probably be designed from the start as a system and not a piece at a time.

I´ve got most of the parts already, just need to do some check on the crank.
M90 block, m30B25 crank, s38 rods and ITB, special pistons, alu flywheel, stand alone management and so on, just need to find a god cam.
And .... also time to make it happen, motor going into an E12 that need some fixing.

Beware the high lift cams on flat top m90 pistons.
Evil lurks there.......
I have a few Paul Burke cams sitting in the shop.
Fair warning- his last editions were really problematic.

 

[JFENG]

Are stock parts really good for use above 8000rpm?

What are the specs of the cams you have, do you think some may suit my purpose.

That is for me to see

Paul’s business with me was street cams.
