Re: melling cams
I am told that Melling is the OEM manufacturer for Jeep and this is what I am going with, along with their timing chain kit. I can't give you any operational experience as my motor is being assembled right now.

Re: melling cams
There is nothing wrong with Melling cams. My machine shop uses them for stock rebuilds.

Re: melling cams
Thanks for the confirmation about Melling being used as a good stock replacement. It is good to hear that confidently repeated!

Re: melling cams
Here's the one I got from YO'Reilly's, the cam and "Sealed Power" lifters were $184.35 in my hands, ordered it Thursday after work and had it Saturday morning.
