Hi quality, cams consistently degree in where they are supposed to, rear of cam gear has a 360* channel for oil to flow through to the dist gear so its idiot proof, price is reasonable, readily available. ------------- Specializing in dyno services, engine building, and cylinder head porting rbjracing.com Phone Number 518-915-3203 |

I bought Milodon, which is re-branded SA Gear, the oil passage in the back of the cam gear was missing, easily fixed, but a trap for the unwary.

Yowza! Is that bad?   I had good luck with mine, SA + Howards Cam degree'd right on the money, I can't imagine one being 7 degrees off   Just goes to show that everything needs to be checked today.  ------------- 71 P-code 4spd Javelin/AMX some Jeeps and some Fords |

How does the CS7110 set compare to the CS7111 set. It looks like the only difference is the gears are nitrided. How important is that in a 500 hp engine. ------------- 70 Javelin SST, second owner, purchased 1972 |

First thoughts are this is a bad idea. If the sprockets are tough but softer, the hard chain rollers will deform the sprockets to run in smoothly in short order. The chain will see little wear and last a long time. If the sprocket is hard surfaced, the rollers may deform first or faster. This would quickly lead to the chain wearing out. This is one of those, has it been done, show the side by side comparison. Things like this cannot be calculated, too many variables.

Anyone have any feedback on the Nick Alfano anti cam walk set up as far as the timing gears being off in degrees? ------------- 1985 J-20 PLOW TRUCK 1977 CJ 7 360 T-18 D 300 1970 AMX ex-SCCA car SPEED COSTS MONEY HOW FAST DO YOU WANT TO GO? |

The late 4.0 sixes have a camshaft bolt with a spring loaded pin in them. They will retro fit to the V-8 engines and it is a factory part , a bit a Chrysler Mopar factory part. Should work on the AMC V-8 not sure how many people know Jeep made this running change on 4.0 sixes. As what it is intended an anti walk cam shaft device. Now if your planning on using high pressure triple valve springs that may be another matter on a race V-8. LRDaum
