IMPORTANT: These high performance components should be checked for suitability by the person installing them as engines of the same group can vary in valve length, spring installed height, and Collet groves.
It is the sole responsibility of the installer to check suitability.
To ensure your camshaft is the correct model for your application place the new cam next to the your old cam and check the following points.
Do the lobes all point the same way?
Are the holes or groves in the bearing journals the same?
Is the distributor gear the same size and angle and position on the camshaft?
Is the fuel pump lobe in the same place on the camshaft?
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION
IT IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER TO CHECK SUITABILITY & RUNNING THE CAMSHAFT IN PROPERLY
This camshaft must be installed with new cam followers and good quality performance valve springs. All engines will vary due to machining so check engine for correct rocker arm geometry and push rod length. This camshaft has a higher lift than standard so check valve springs for coil bind and retainer to top of the valve guide clearance at full valve lift when installed. You also need to check valve to piston clearance and the camshaft timing marks on the timing chain are lined up. All these checks need to be done before you start the engine. Correct cam lube needs to be applied during engine assembly and lifters [cam followers] need to be primed with oil. The lifters should rotate freely in their bores. This camshaft needs to be run in at 2500rpm for at least 20minutes to ensure plenty of oil pressure is present to drown the cam and lifters in lubricant during the run in period. Refer to our web site for more information, specifications, cam set up and tuning tips.
Disclaimer: All performance modifications will most likely alter exhaust emissions. This means that for later model cars that need to comply with exhaust emissions standards you install these performance parts at your own risk.
