Re: 400jr cam

Well sadly not all is right at Isky. Working on a recent build using a new Isky cam that was a new casting upon checking the cam timing per the instructions it degreed in at 119 on the CL. In other words it was way off the timing card specs at 119 the engine would have been a dog. Now most people would never take the time to degree in a cam on a flathead since its extremely difficult to make an adjustment however its worth the effort even though its definitely time consuming.

Re: 400jr cam
Back in the day, we had adjustable cam gears. I think I have one someplace. However we'd elongate the cam bolt holes and use sterwashers to hold them in place, and it worked.. Unfortunately moving the cam around didn't do much. Gramps..

With a radius lifter grind moving the cam 1 degree can move you from first to second place. Last edited by Pete; 08-26-2021 at 03:14 PM. |

Re: 400jr cam
Hey Pete, if you're running a 404-A grind, what type of cam timing do you like to setup the cam for? I know that is a very broad question (depends on the application, track, etc). am just interested in your thoughts on the subject . . . the wisdom of experience!

Re: 400jr cam
Ronnie, are you talking 119 for the LSA or the ICL?
ICL can be changed but LSA can't.

It makes a noticable difference on some tracks, especially with the tires allowed now. |
