Modification Required:

  • For it to be “drop in” on a 12v, you will need no more than .025″ piston protrusion and at least .055″ valve face depth with a standard head gasket and a 99 intake centerline. On a 98-02 24v, you will need no more than .025″ piston protrusion and at least .038″ valve face depth with a standard gasket. On an 03 and up, it needs .018″piston protrusion and at least .038″ valve face depth with a standard gasket. If you do not meet the minimum requirements for piston-to-valve clearance, don’t worry, you can still run an oversized head gasket or cut valve reliefs.
  • Although this is considered a drop-in cam, it is important to check clearances.
  • We always recommend new lifters when changing a cam.


Applications:

  • Used in daily drivers
  • Smaller single, or set of compounds
  • Weekend warrior
  • Towing

Break in:

To make sure that you have no issues during break-in, follow these few suggestions:

  • Make sure that the cam has a liberal amount of quality assembly lube applied.
  • DO NOT let the engine start without oil pressure.
  • When used on a new engine, be sure to put a liberal amount of assembly lube in the oil pump and prime the oil filter.
  • Be sure to change the oil after you have done your break-in procedure. When the filter and oil system are already primed, the engine will get oil pressure much faster than if the oil is changed at the same time.
  • Disconnect the fuel system and spin the engine with the starter until oil pressure can be read or until oil is coming out of the rocker arms.
  • Do not let the starter run for more than 10 seconds at a time.
  • Once oil pressure has been verified, let the engine start and run for 5 minutes at 1,200-1,500 rpm then shut the engine down.
  • Adjust the valves, then you are cleared to abuse your engine. Enjoy the added airflow!
  • If you need to re-torque or “hot torque” the head, do so before adjusting the valves. Re-torquing the head changes the valve lash setting, so it is important to set lash last.
