Wagoneer855 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Not certain, but it appears that way. We won't know for sure until someone measures up the duration on the cams. Hussein, can you have your machinist check your cams out? Also, not to be a dick, but it's dual. Duel is what you do with guns or knives. Give me a break I'm halfway through a 70hr work week My english teacher mother would be proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzimark Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I'll keep imagining the intake and exhaust cams battling it out then :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hussein, can you have your machinist check your cams out? He's gonna measure the lift for me. Duration would take a while, and I'm not paying him $80 an hour to figure it out, sorry.

But... but... but... Who's going to get us useful information if you aren't going to?!! I'll chip in $5 I'll keep imagining the intake and exhaust cams battling it out then :lol: Everything is better with knives!

ozzimark Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Camshaft-bayonets! He's gonna measure the lift for me. Duration would take a while, and I'm not paying him $80 an hour to figure it out, sorry. With the proper tools, it shouldn't take anywhere near an hour to measure up both cams, including setup time, unless you're asking for the lift of the entire cam in 1º increments I ended up using a digital angle gauge, attaching it to cam gear, noting the angle at whatever lift I was going for, and then rotating it until the lift dropped back down to the starting point, subtract the first angle from the second and double to get duration. Took me 10 min to figure out what to do and 5 min to actually do it, not including trying to figure out where the hell the inspection equipment was put away by whoever used it last :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishey Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Did you ever check it at .006 lift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzimark Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 No, I've been a lazy SOB. I'll see if I can measure them again tomorrow at 0.006". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Drilled & tapped the T/stat housing 1/4"NPT for the vent/recirc line that goes to the back of the head.. Used a brake booster brass elbow Also modded my IPD Phenolic Spacer for ME7 head use - enlarge upper port area, and move end tab to upper bolt hole No, I've been a lazy SOB. I'll see if I can measure them again tomorrow at 0.006". I asked my guy to measure mine 2 .006" lift. He said he will, if it's not too much work to setup the head for this. He's also going to look at deshrouding the valves for me, as well as the backcut on the valves themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I'll have the cam lift & duration #'s Monday - the shop is finishing up the head work. He called & gave me the lift (@ .006") over the phone - but I didn't have a pen handy. 300º duration on the exhaust, but now I can't be sure he was surprised at how much more lift the exhaust cam has than the intake. This is what I've been working on the last day or so... Building the plenum to clear the PS, etc... is going to be a PITA. shooting for 210CID (1.5x displacement) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was measuring around 286º @ 0.001 and 236º @ .015. I haven't measured it at 0.006" yet, but some interpolation puts the intake at 254º and the exhaust at 267º. Those numbers sound familiar to you? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookforjoe Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 The dual VVT LPT cams are: 8642712 EXH: .355" lift 300º duration @ .006" 8670354 INT .315" lift 264º duration @ .006" That's much less lift than a older turbo intake cam!
