I popped the heads off in order to remove the broken exhaust studs (one per cylinder)
(I wrote broken head studs....I meant exhaust studs) Stock camshaft has some strange wear patterns on it which might be part of the previous owner problems with the motor. Cam will be a 9600 grind from Rabys old store Intake planned is stock L-Jet, however I can be swayed to install Megasquirt (plenum or ITB) since I already have the Megasquirt. Exhaust is older European Racing Header. |

I think that cam would prefer to have dual or HD springs. But if you email the Type4Store they should be able to tell you what's recommended.

Recommended dual (with a little hesitation which makes me nervous?) Specs: .335 IN .400 EX Duration 290° @ .050" 252° IN @ .050" 254° EX Looking at the Web Cam catalog, it looks similar to the 86a (below) except for intake lift, I hope it was a misprint or I didn't hear her correctly. Web Cam doesn't show any cams with that small of an intake lift! QUOTE .435/.435 290°/290° 252°/252° 86a N/A N/A 00-232 Strong mid and upper end performance for high performance street engines. WEB CAM mechanical lifters required. Requires Performance Valve Spring Kit, and New Lifters Part #00-265. I think I will measure the lift just to make sure. |
