Take a tour of Comp Cams facility in Memphis Tenn.

I love seeing how stuff is made. When a show comes on TV that documents how certain widgets are made, I’m glued to the tube. I guess it’s the kid in me. Last summer when I found myself in Memphis  for the Super Chevy Show, I could not pass up the chance to visit Comp Cams and take a tour. These photos will only show about a tenth of their operation, nevertheless it was amazing to see how they ran the show. Hope you enjoy the tour too.

Thousands of Blank Cams are waiting to be ground.

More cams being ground and shaped by master craftsman.

Finally a C&C machine handles the bulk of cam grinds and can out work the most efficient human worker. The folks at Comp told us the most popular cam that people order are cams for the small block Chevy. And isin't that the way it is supposed to be.
