Dayz Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Guys, I have a K cam...clearly punched at the end of the camshaft. What is it and where did it come from. I have read about cams and cannot seem to find it anywhere. According to Braap; you can measure the cam lobe in two places, one over the nose of the lobe and the other 90 degrees, or perpendicular to that for the base circle. Subtract the base circle measurement from the nose-of-the-lobe measurement. Now multiple that by 1.5 for the rocker ratio. Then subtract the stock valve lash clearance of .010â€-.012". Now that number should close to .393"-.413" which is the stock L-series valve lift. I get: (1.576-1.303) *1.5 - 0.011 = 0.3985 Which is a stock cam. Can you help me identify its origin? Is it worth more than a C stamped cam? I need to keep one or the other. Thanks Dayz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Unfortunately, this chart does not show "K" spec. http://www.geocities.com/bruskiz/ZCamSpecs.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
znote Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I've got a couple in the junk pile for regrind cores. The both came out of mn-47 maxima heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayz Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 Thanks very much guys...Cygnus, I have seen the same page as well with obviously no success! I guess I will keep the C cam instead. Thanks Dayz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
