Cam regrinds feasible? (roller regrind)

[Sandy]

You can do some regrinding to rollers, I did, but it was almost not worth
it. The problem that I was told is that if you do too much you need to have
it re-heatreated, and then it typically gets out of wack in terms of
straightness or  so he said. They can take some off and change the profile
a bit, but you need to check with a grinder that can do it to see how much
and actually what it will cost. In the long run, more problems then it's
worth, just get the grind you want and save the exercise.
