Please note: Holden 3.8L V6 camshafts are made from steel and have been induction hardened to achieve the correct hardness needed for roller lifters. Excessive grinding and material removal will reduce hardness and can result in roller lifter and lobe failure. Camshaft profiles Stage 4 Master #350 and over will therefore require a new cam blank.
