What should I look for in a Buick camshaft?
Intended for performance hot street/strip and performance marine applications, these profiles have a moderate lope at idle and offer an extended rpm range with emphasis on upper bottom to top end power and a strong mid-range. These higher lift, longer duration camshafts demand close attention to rear end gearing and tire diameter combinations.
What are the numbers on a camshaft profile?
To get the best performance for your application, the camshaft profile must match your head and valve train components. All of our numbered series are named for their lift rates or lobe acceleration. The lower number “220” indicates a smoother lift rate where the “420” number is a faster lift rate profile.
Can A Level 5 camshaft be used in a manual transmission?
Use with standard manual transmission or automatic with high stall torque converter. Again, close attention to proper ring and pinion and tire diameter selection is imperative. Level 5 camshafts are designed for fully prepared, high compression, all-out racing engines and chassis.
What kind of camshafts do racing engines use?
Level 5 camshafts are designed for fully prepared, high compression, all-out racing engines and chassis.
Where are the timing marks on a cam chain?
I just pulled the IVT cover off and found that the marked link on the chain is not inline with the gear mark. It lags by two full links. Normally I set timing by the gears, the crank pully, and the timing marks embossed into the casting of the block and head…if they are lined up, the chain really does not make a difference.
