Camshaft grinding & reprofiling
The camshaft sets the character of the engine. Meksta grinds and reprofiles camshafts with precision, whether you want to recondition a worn camshaft or build a custom profile for track or street.
Our expertise and method
We carry out every kind of camshaft work, from simple reconditioning of worn bearing surfaces to full reprofiling with custom profiles. The work is done on our own camshaft grinder, which gives us full control over tolerances and surface finish.
Regrinding of worn camshafts
Worn lobes and bearing surfaces are reground to factory specification. We measure every lobe to micrometer precision.
Reprofiling - new profile
Give the engine more lift, longer duration or an asymmetric profile. Proven or custom profiles based on your goals.
Lobe modifications
Smaller modifications such as ramp adjustment or a change in lift height for a noticeable difference in engine character.
Durometer testing & hardening
We test the hardness of the material with a durometer. If the material is not hard enough, we send the camshafts out for hardening after grinding.
Camshafts from a billet
For engines where the original shaft is missing or cannot be saved, we can grind a new camshaft from a billet to any profile. See our ready-made profiles in the shop or request a custom grind.
Common jobs
- Regrinding worn lobes to original specification
- Reprofiling with increased duration or lift
- Reconditioning of bearing surfaces
- Ramp adjustment for softer or more aggressive valve opening
- Custom profiles for rally and racing engines
- Grinding of camshafts for pushrod engines (flathead, SBC, BBF and more)
Our own camshaft grinder
We have our own camshaft grinding machine in the workshop, which means we do not have to send your parts away. That gives shorter lead times and full control from start to finish.

How it can work
Inspection & measurement
We inspect the camshaft visually and measure every lobe with a micrometer. Wear, cracks and other deviations are documented.
Profile & specification
We discuss the profile you want - original, modified or entirely new - and set the specification for lift, duration and ramp angle.
Grinding
The camshaft is ground on our dedicated camshaft grinder. Every lobe is check-measured during the process to verify the correct profile.
Inspection & delivery
A final measurement of all lobes and bearing surfaces. You get a measurement report and we ship the camshaft back well packed.
