Please tell me that's a 3/4 race cam

Bo White · 01-03-2015, 11:23 AM

Juice2SS · 01-03-2015, 11:28 AM

Things could get interesting. Can't wait to see the results.

ttshovel · 01-03-2015, 12:03 PM

IH8OPEC · 01-03-2015, 12:36 PM

Wow, What are the specs on the cam Bo?

Bo White · 01-03-2015, 12:37 PM

Yeah 3/4 race cam is a full race cam with the back 1/4 of it broke off.....

Bo White · 01-03-2015, 12:38 PM

It's a teeny baby cam. A teeny cam is were the intake duration is in the teens and a baby cam is were it also has less lift than .580"......

3/4 race cam? I have not heard that term in a while. My dad had one of those in his hot rod back in the 50's.

Bo White · 01-03-2015, 01:54 PM

Uhh oh again but in a bad way....
The dreaded broken tensioner syndrome lol.

Juice2SS · 01-03-2015, 02:02 PM

I haven't seen anyone mention a sound from that. Does it seem apparent when they lose tension?

Bo White · 01-03-2015, 02:15 PM

You can't tell it until you tear it down lol. It's a known issue.
