Standard 2.0 cu camshaft spec advice

Post by diesel11 »

Evening all,
sorry if I'm going over old ground, but I'm looking at stripping my engine after the summer, I've been looking at new camshafts and came across Newman cams, from a previous post on here, they have suggested a cam with 260* rotation and 1 mm more lift, I'm planning on running the standard hydraulic lifters, they have assured me that this cam will work. But I can't seem to find any information on the standard cam shaft specification.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Newman cams are solid. The 260° duration and extra 1 mm lift should be fine with your hydraulic lifters. Stock cams are usually around 240-250° duration.

Cheers buddy, appreciate the reply, the guy there Ken seemed to know exactly what I was after, didn't try to sell anything that would be "over the top"
