Subject: hydraulic roller cam install /product questions by c4-zo7-91 on 2008/1/30 8:59:21 hello guys, just wanted to ask a couple of questions if i may r.e installtion of a hydraulic roller cam in a 4 bolt block. i saw a couple of cam accesories such as a danny bee brand block protector which comes with wear plates and double sided torrington bearing, # 294-1110 from jegsperformance.com apparently to help protect against engine block wear from timing chain. next is a crane cams roller style cam button ,# 270-99164-1 also from jegs and a solid cam button, # 720-1183 from jegs as well. i noticed that on my 4 bolt roller block that it came with a 2 bolt cam retaining plate. so do i really need to bother and install any of the above products please ?? or just use the cam retaining plate bracket that bit came with ?? the cam i ordered is a 236/242 duration @ .50 ",111 lobe seperation,4-7 fire order swap,.585/.590 " lift @ 1.6 ratio,small base circle with billet core and 292/300 advanced duration. and i also brought a cloyes true double roller sprockets and chain speed set, # 9-3145. on there directions they say you can advance or retard the sprocket. them saying that retarding will increase high rpm performance and advacing cam timing will increase low end torque. which way should i go do you think ?? also when install sprockets, i fit cam sprocket @ 6'o clock yeah ?? and crank sprocket @ 12' oclock yeah ??, which will make distributor 2 # 6 firing position not # 1 ?? i hope that i can please get some ideas and help please r.e this. thanks very much glen |
