d3c0y Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hey Guys, Just picked up a cam off ebay and i was wondering if someone can help me confirm that it is what it's supposed to be. It has Japan cast in the side and is a solid cam opposed to an internally oiled one. On the end of the cam the following is stammped: 23196 AmeriCam 1 11 A I googled it all and didnt come up with anything - not even anything for AmeriCam. Thanks in advance Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Stick it in a head, attach your degree wheel and dial indicators, and start rotating and recording the valve events. Only chance in hell of figuring out what you have, save for someone with that exact same cam reading your post and recalling the specs, or actually having the cam card. Best get to it, I doubt highly the latter will be occurring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3c0y Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) The specs are 555 Lift 300 intake 316 exhaust duration according to the Ebay add - just want to make sure i'd been sold the right thing.

Yeah, Tony just told you exactly what you need to do. Check out the cam degreeing sticky in this section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Excuse, please, I was somewhat obtuse in my response. Let me clarify: "Stick it in a head, attach your degree wheel and dial indicators, and start rotating and recording the valve events. Only chance in hell of confirming what you have." Forgive me for my earlier retort, I can see how it could be misunderstood, it went waaaaay wide of the mark! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
