there are plenty of you wise folk to give me an opinion which would be received with gratitude. thankyou. gary
Gary,
I can put you onto a mob here in Melbourne who reground my cam shafts. Their grind goes on a standard camshaft which you would need to supply as a core. They are beyond a B grind for performance but in my opinion, to improve an engine we should look at all 3 of the "three Cs" at once and do a little to each. They are Carb, Cam and Compression. That is what I did to the car I use to tow the camper.
The specs are:
Inlet Opens at 21°, closes at 63?° (the data card is not clear) Duration 263°
Exhaust Opens at 67°, closes at 16° Duration 263°
Lift is 0.288"
