What should the compression be on a Crower camshaft?
Modifications that should accompany installation of these cams include small diameter tube headers, low restriction dual exhaust, aftermarket manifold, increased cfm carburetor and reworked or performance ignition. Increased compression (9.5:1) is recommended for maximum output.
What kind of camshafts do racing engines use?
Level 5 camshafts are designed for fully prepared, high compression, all-out racing engines and chassis.
What makes a Level 1 replacement camshaft good?
Level 1 indicates a good stock replacement camshaft. These profiles are designed to enhance throttle response and low end torque in vans, trucks, passenger cars and mild marine applications while delivering fuel efficient motoring. High vacuum, smooth idle and maximum efficiency are characteristics of these cams.
What should the timing marks be on a camshaft?
Count how many notches it is off and when you repeat, make the allowances by turning the camshaft the forward or backwards the required notches. The new timing belt should have markings for the various marks, using them would be the fastest and most accurate.

What kind of lifter do you need for a camshaft?
New mechanical flat tappet lifters are always required when installing a new cam. Mechanical roller camshafts (MRC) are ground to profiles that pair with mechanical roller lifters. MRCs & lifters require more maintenance than hydraulic roller camshafts.
