Clois,
Thank you for that comment.
Its funny because many have said to contact a cam grinder or an engine builder such as Keith Craft. Well I have went to the "experts" with Webers and a cam manufactor and many feel that the suggestion was incorrect.
1 gentleman posted that Keith Craft recommended a cam which is similar but still smaller to what was suggested. But the manufactor of the cam was not disclosed.
The reason for me making these comments is because I also made a phone call to crane asking for a suggested cam profile. There specs are as follows:
658
256/264
LSA 114
A comment was made by Crane that my machinist or engine builder needed to make a groove 20/1000 , 40/1000 wide, 35/1000 deep. for a side oiler motor. Hmmmmm
Also I asked if they can make another recommendation and they said that this was the biggest "cam grind " they were able to produce from that shaft spec.
This leads me to believe that alot of these cam manufactors are limited by the initial cam grind in order to make a final cam grind.
Again if this is common knowledge please excuse me I am learning about cams
I do know that Comp is able to produce a cam from scratch which is why they might have made a bigger cam for my application.
Does this have anything to do with what is recommended by they engine builder / cam grinders
