Re: Cam for 55 56?
Clem;
I worked for the former GM Locomotive division as a Senior Technical Writer for 22+ years and worked closely with many of the young GMI Engineers there. The smart ones would come to me and ask questions about the old 645 and 710 engines. The others chose to "re-invent the wheel" all the time. They were too smart for their own good (big egos) and it was "de ja vu" all the time. They were incurring the same problems that we had addressed and solved years before. Sure, we tried to contact them and explain that the problem had occurred and been resolved before, and would even give them specific references to change notices or instructions, etc., but often times the attitude was; "What do you know old timer". They would go on muddling through wasting time until they essentially solved a problem that had been solved before. It happened time and time again until I learned to keep my mouth shut until and if they seeked me out for advice. Those are the ones that made it to the top.
