Now, the rest of the story...
We know something has changed with the cams. For one, we would equally buy Kolbenschmidt as Febi, made from the same Turkish company, until just about 4 years ago we got 'blue boxes'(KS) instead of what we expected, 'red ones'(Febi). The Kolbenschmidt cams we got were marked 'Made in China' and hardness checked 44rc on lobes and 20 on the journals, instead of 58-61Rc. To tell you honestly, we have no idea what AMC was doing at that time, because we only bought a single cam for our test.
As I stated in an earlier post, within the last few months, both KS, once again, and Febi are selling PD cams with boxes marked, 'Made in China'. There are still cams from 'old stock', which we have purchased from Febi or KS. To date, I am refusing any marked 'Made in China'.
The rules that US companies must (atually, are supposed to...) abide by is at least 51% of a product must be US manufactured before the claim 'Made in the US' can be on the product. But I will stand on my judgement, if AMC would pretend to have Spanish-made cam once, would they purchase from China, same as KS and and Febi, but still say it's made by AMC? Maybe... maybe not.
What do you think?
