Re: Cam installation help

There is no break-in period for a hydraulic cam.

Good call; I was thinking of a full rebuild break in for some reason. Give her hell...

i have to have a three bolt balancer puller to remove the balancer.

I have used a pulley puller before, but it has to be a big one; the one I got is an 8" I think. The 3 bolt balancer puller works good, but make sure the bolts thread in very snug or the will tear up the holes.

I just wanted to say thanks for all the help. It was very useful. I put the cam in and it wasnt really all that hard and its deffinately worth it. Its awesome. Thanks.

Re: Cam installation help

correct that there is NO break in period for a hyd "ROLLER" cam -but just an fyi-if your ever installing a hyd "FLAT TAPPET" cam you had better cover it with 105 & hold her around 2k for 15mins to break it in, then run an oil with zddp additive-i made that very expensive mistake once myself so just thought i'd pass that fwd

It runs really nice. There wasnt a huge gain in power but there is somewhat of a gain. And i love the lope when its idleing. So all in all i think it was worth the time and money.

^You have any wsay to tune it? I know my Abbott cam was alright once I installed it, but after I finally dialed in the tune, the car felt much much faster. fwiw.
