Thanks for the advice Steve!
Mark, I will have Anna make you dinner if you come help me, that includes free puppy-sitting too!
I'm thinking about tearing it apart Thursday after work. Sounds like all of the stuff I've ordered should be in by then.
here's what I got on order:
Kelford 272 cams (I/E)
Duration @0.1mm: 272/272
lift: 11.0mm/11.0mm
duration @1mm:226/226
centerline @ full lift: 107/113
Compared to my 'old' HKS 280's (sniff, love these things!)
HKS 280
Advertised Duration - 280 deg
Effective Duration - 222 deg @ 1mm
Lift - 10.8mm Int / 10.2mm Exh
Lobe Centerlines - 110 deg Int / 110 deg Exh
LSA - 110 deg
Stock valve springs OK
And compared to stock:
Factory EVO
Advertised Duration - 260 deg Int / 256 deg Exh
Effective Duration - ___ deg @ 1mm Int / ___ deg @1mm Exh
Lift - 10.0mm Int / 9.5mm Exh
Lobe Centerlines - 109 deg Int /111 deg Exh
LSA - 110 deg
Also a set of GSC's 5039 springs:
The GSC Beehive spring is a factory replacement and will use your stock OEM retainer and Valve Seat to ensure an easy install.
Spring Pressures :
Seat @ 1.56"=68 lbs / .300"=160lbs / .400"=190lbs / .450"=210lbs / .625"= Coil bind.
*Max lift on stock Retainer is 11.4mm at the valve or .259" cam lobe lift.*
So ya, that and an oem headgasket from Brookdale and we're in business! I have some small side projects in mind, but nothing major. I'll take pics as things progress. Wish me luck!
