Isky 1023
I am building my Flathead with parts i have saved since the late 60’s. Had fun collecting them as a kid with my Dad. Time has come to put it all together. Would anyone happen to have any cam specs at all for the Isky 1023 for the 49/53 ? I have already tried calling Isky but could not get any info. Thanks Ron in Ft.Myers, Fla.

So, if you have the lifters and the back-cutting tool to prep the block, then you have what you need - if you don't, then you shouldn't attempt to use this cam. |

Re: Isky 1023
I had a friend that used one at Danbury speedway back in the 60's. Wasn't worth the effort.

Re: Isky 1023
I think the reason was for a faster lift rate??????

Re: Isky 1023
With all of that good advice, I think that it should be used as a wall hanger.

Re: Isky 1023
That is true, Ron, but Ed was refering to the marketing success of the cam which was next to zero.
The theory of the larger diameter lifter was ok but remember, he had the 404A at the time which was one of his biggest sellers. |

Re: Isky 1023
I have installed the cam in the block with stock diameter tappets so i could examine the contact area on both sides of the ramp. Also with the .100 smaller diameter there will be approx 20 degrees lost on both sides of the ramp which may end up working just fine. This will be an interesting experiment for sure. Different combinations along with trial and error are part the fun. Thank you to all that responded.

Re: Isky 1023
Changing the cam and adjusting clearances is not much fun with a flathead, very different than an OHV motor.

Re: Isky 1023
I don't think it a good idea. However, we might learn sumpin.

Re: Isky 1023
My question is, if that cam is designed for a radius lifter, won't the edge of the stock lifter cut into the cam flanks?

Re: Isky 1023
Yes, a big difference. BUT, if the lobe remains on the lifter face, without edging, it would not matter if the lifter was a mushroom or not. And, it seems unnecessary for such a lobe profile design to call for the larger diameter lifter face?

Re: Isky 1023
If it is a mushroom lifter and larger than 1", it can have higher cam lift rate than the standard 1" lifter. The max lift rate for 1" lifter with a .008 margin = .0085866 per degree. What is the diameter of the mushroom lifters?
Here too, the lifter edge can run into the cam lobe, if that lift rate is exceeded. So, if possible, the lift rate needs to be checked.
