pflaming Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 When a camshaft is changed, 1) what essential benefit is derived, 2) what are the minimal changes required, be very basic with your replies. Tks paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 the benefit would be for better operation over the one it replaced GIVEN it was bad to begin with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted March 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 I asked that incorrectly, . What if the cam itself was different than the original cam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Generally speaking the lift duration and overlap of the cam profile will determine its performance from that of stock which is a best all around general purpose to those that develop their power at a various RPM in which you plan to operate the vehicle. You should go to a good web site and read, years ago Crane had a very good white paper on the ins and out of cams that was written very well. It is worth the read I assure you.

nkeiser Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 The basic benefits and higher lift and more duration which allow more air and fuel into the engine. The crazy stuff occurs with the lobe overlap and separation which I don't fully understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
