Solid Roller Cam ??

[Jerry Clayton]

Over my years of racing everything from top fuelers, funny cars, pro stockers, dirt/pavement stock cars, sprint cars and indy stock blocks---I want an setup that is easy to adjust cam timing (Gear drive/Jesel belt) or even change cams quickly between rounds---sometimes this might even mean a hole in the radiator core that the cam would fit thru!!

At one time I even had all our cams ground with the same exact base circle so we didn't have to adjust the lash after a between rounds change

Bee hive springs are for car shows and cruises-----

Beehives: never to be used on a solid roller/ radical ramp cam. Alot of engine builders say so; I dunno...

On the iron/ iron VS alu/ iron VS alu/ alu heads/ block. As used to the first mentioned and a little more than advertised lash while cold, I was a bit shocked when I experienced the last type; have to be set TIGHTER to be correct at warm.

I think .015 @ cold and .020 warm....
