Welding my Camshaft?

[KCSHO99]

Hi, I have 1999 Ford Taurus SHO and I must get my cams welded ASAP. I live near Kansas City, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of anybody who could weld my cams. My car has around 101K miles on it, and I know if I dont get my car welded it's days could be numbered. :thankyou:

If you were closer to NC i could weld them up for you.

Hey I'm in Overland Park as well. :wave:

I'd take it to either James "St Louis SHO" or have Paul "Nebraska SHO" weld them for ya. I know Paul personally and he has welded the cams in his '99. Might be an easier trip to make than going to STL anyway.

I didn't know Paul welded.. cool.

Hey KCSHO99, I'm over in Lenexa, but I know a guy that welded mine for about $50. He's in Olathe.

 

[KCSHO99]

Hey Izzmo, Can you give me contact information for the guy who welded your cams? 50$ sounds like a great deal!

 

[Izzmo]

His name escapes me at the moment, but he is a machine shop guy that welds. He should be familiar with it.

The only thing you need to keep in mind is that the car engine needs to be stripped down to the cams and the car towed to his place of work.

He works at Carquest Auto parts, here is the location: http://www.bing.com/maps/default.as...&phscl=1&ss=ypid.YN317x6160063~pg.1&encType=1

So he cannot strip the engine down? And if not how must I do that? Sorry if i sound dumb, but I don't know too much about stripping down my engine

You must strip the intake manifold. Surge tank and valve covers. Its really not that hard to do. Also suggest while your in there to change the spark plugs out. Move the 4 coils from the back of the motor to the front. Check the wiring harness that runs across the top of the back valve cover for any signs of excessive heat melting the sheathing on the wires. Be careful with all the gaskets because they are hard to come by. Also the Lower intake Manifold that houses the secondaries will need to be de-carboned.

Thanks, I looked up the process online and seems prett easy. I'll going to d it this weekend and then bring it to a local welder who said he could weld it. Thanks for the help, everyone :woo-hoo::thankyou:
