Camshaft coatings?
Camshaft coatings?
(OP)
I've heard speculation that performance engine builders are using wear-resistant (TiN, etc.) coatings on camshafts. Anyone have any info or insight on this?

With regards to solid tappets, we have had the best results with super polishing the tappet bottom correctly and with polishing the cam.
It goes without saying that cryogenic processing of the camshaft and lifters will do wonders for wear resistance on solid, hydraulic, and roller lifter cams.
