Doc Hawk Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I have an aftermarket cam on a motor I just bought, and I need some help identifying it. It is stamped 065 on the front, as well as displaying the stock "B". The head also has dual valve springs installed. Any help appreciated!

Xnke Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Sounds like a stock cam and springs. Measure the base circle of the cam, then the cam lift. Using a degree wheel and dial indicator, you could measure the duration as well, if you are patient. BTW, the stock springs are "dual springs" as there is an inner and an outer. If the cam lift and duration match a B stamp cam, chances are you got taken. I don't know how much experience you have with the L motor, which is why I'm pessimistic. But actually getting out the calipers and measuring is the only way to know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Hawk Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Thanks for taking a crack at it. I've built several L6's (a dozen?) in various trims from stock to performance NA to turbo, and I feel pretty comfortable with the motor. The springs are thicker than stock, and look different. The camshaft lift is .480"/.480", which is clearly not stock. I assure you I didn't get taken. The rest of the L28 motor is .50 over Sterling 2cc dished pistons on L24 rods, a fully balanced rotating assembly, Jun 9.7 lb Chromoly flywheel, Centerforce clutch, and HD oil pump. The rest of the car includes poly bushings throughout, straight clean body with a dented fender and no rust (CA car), performance electronic ignition, elec fuel pump, vented big brakes in front, disc brake conversion in rear, Griffin aluminum radiator and elec fan, brand new Falken Azenis on Centerline rims, R200 clutch limited slip differential, new Autopower roll bar, Optima Yellow Top battery, good Bride seats, and a 5 speed. Total price paid was $720 off Craigslist because it was in non-running condition and the guy had to get out of his rental that week. Another Hybridz member can confirm the price.

Xnke Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Sounds like a great deal. When I get home from work, i'll elaborate on how to measure the lift and duration of the cam, so you can get more information. (unless you measured it already? looks that way from the post, or someone sent you the info) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Hawk Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 I measured/calculated the lift, but I don't have a gauge to measure duration. Thanks Xnke. My buddy and I like to say that I bought a CLSD and it came with a car attached. Or a rear disc conversion that came with a car. Or a set of bride seats that... you get the idea. My buddy also likes to say that he is reporting me to the police for grand theft. I don't like saying that one as much as he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
