Web Cam Type 1 Camshaft, Grind 86A, 1.4 or 1.5 Rockers, 00-082

Web Cam Type 1 Camshaft, Grind 86A, 1.4 or 1.5 Rockers, 00-082 is designed for 1.4 and 1.5 rockers, and it's specs are .502" Valve Lift with 1.5 Rockers, 290 degrees of advertised duration, and 252 degrees of duration at .050" checking clearance.

This is Web Cam's "mildest" ratio rocker specific grind, it drives like a Web 163 or Engle 110, but is a lot smoother and has more top end power than those due to the increased valve lift! Velvety Smooth on the Valve Train, which can last 100k+ miles. The more headwork and carburetion the better it will run, and it will idle at 600RPM if you wanted it to with dual 2bbls.

This cam works best with mild headwork, especialy if larger valves are used. Expect a powerband from 1500 to 6000 RPMs, the more headwork and carburetion the better the top end will be.

Due to the Valve Lift you must have Dual Springs, and you'll have Ratio Rockers (Bolt On Shafts). Use a compression ratio of 8.5-9:1

Lobe Center: The proper term is really "Lobe Separation Angle", but people more recognize "Lobe Center" so that's the term we have used here. Lobe Center is a VERY complex topic, generally speaking a smaller (Narrower) Lobe Center will improve low end power at the expense of top end, and a Wider Lobe Center will do the opposite. Of course, duration does the same (more duration helps top end at the expense of low end), but it's just another way to further refine your power.

CAM CLEARANCING is already done on this cam and is needed on all 82mm or longer strokes, and SOME 78+mm crank/rod combos (VW or Porsche journals). It depends on the size of the big end of the connecting rod, but USUALLY the bigger the rod journal the bigger the big end of the rod. Generally speaking H-beam rods have a smaller "Big End" than I-beam rods do, but the only way to know is to check.

Always install new lifters with a performance cam. We have various lifters available in our "Valve Train" category.

This cam does not include the gear. If you would like a cam gear with this cam see the listing below.
