Pinning the camshaft

So I will need this done soon. Who are the companies that do it? Do you have to buy new cams and then pin them, or can mine be "unspun" and then pinned? What turn around time did you guys experience?

Appreciate the suggestion, but would like to stay within the US if possible. International shipping costs and customs bs is always a nightmare

Dont be scared about shipping, they are light and should be cheap

If you fill in correctly all papers for shipping, shouldnt pay any custom fees

As far as I know dbilas is much cheaper than US competition, up to you, but guess will be cheaper in the end with them but might take longer and some headaches for shipping

Topspeed in Alpharetta Ga has a supplier that pins them also. You do not have to purchase a new cam with that machine shop. They repair the spun cam and then pin it. They are the shop I took my car to.

What's the cost of a pinned cam, not including core fees?

Have a buddy with a car that's on downtime right now. I'm curious about this too, I'll let him know. Thanks!
