Cam ?
I bought a new Crane cam years ago. It is in another engine with a cracked block. Just wondering if there was any way to find out the specs on the cam is. I can't remember for sure what it was.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and God bless,
Chris

Re: Cam ?
degree wheel and a dial indicator will spec it out if there is no part number.

Re: Cam ?
Are you planning on re-using it ? You might get away with new lifters & doing a normal cam break-in. Using the old lifters in a different block doesn't always work good, since lifter bores are not always in identical positions between different blocks, and may be off enough that the mating isn't the same.

Re: Cam ?
OK, so your suggesting that I go with new lifters rather than the ones in the other block? The other engine probably only has a couple thousand miles on it if that. Not sure if that would make a difference.

Re: Cam ?
Once the cam is broke in, (like 2000 RPM for 30 minutes), the lifters are mated to the lobes enough to run the engine normally. I suggest that a set of new lifters is reasonable insurance for moving the cam to a different block.
There may be other opinions on this of course...

Re: Cam ?
Well, sounds good to me. I think that when if I get the engine from my uncle he has a new set. So that should work.
