Saturday I heard from someone who should know (Kurt Tanner) that a Mk 1 3000 cam in good shape can be ground to 290 degrees with all other specs per stock and that that, in combination with strong v

Welch's original race cam is 300 degrees and is supposed to reflect the original factory rally car cam (4,000 to 6,000 rpm band). Not much difference from 290. What ratio rocker arm is being used wit

Slightly off this topic, but .... inquiring minds need to know ..... who is Kurt Tanner? Pardon my ignorance. I see his name mentioned. I hear that he has some Healeys he has restored up on the Barre

Hi Steve, Something is definitely missing in that equation. If only the duration is increased, why would you need to port the block? Same holds for the stronger springs. If the lift is the same over

Right. If only the timing is changed you don't need to mess with anything else. On these longer cams that get you the power you need, the lift is also changed to something like .425". If the lift isn

Please help me, I'm lost here - what would you (have to) cut on the block, due to a milled head? Notching pistons I could understand. Dick Hosmer 62BT7

One valve on a Healey (and many other cars) is actually over the edge of the cylinder. Small notches need to be cut on the top edge to clear the valve. Go here for a pic of an MGA block with cuts: ht

I think what he is actually refering to is relieving the top inside edge of the cylinder block to enhance valve flow inside the cylinder. If the duration is increased for the same lift, the valve op

Hi Dick, If the cam lift is increased too much, the intake valve will collide with the top inside edge of the cylinder. The edge of the valve actually overlaps the cylinder. Dave Russell

Hi Dave, I hope that it's actually for the exhaust valves that the block needs relieving. That's what my machinist did. See photo. Best Wishes, Greg --Original Message-- Hi Dick, If the cam lift is i

Yes, you are correct. Your block looks very good. The head gaskets are actually relieved in this area which gives a good pattern for where to cut. You don't want to cut so deep that the top ring is

Hi Dave, I'll agree with you on the enhanced gas flow but I'll still maintain my opinion on valve speed. Total duration (the valve leaves the seat and then returns to the seat in crank degrees) does

Aren't there two measurments for cam duration? One's called "advertised" (I think) and the other is measured from 0.050" of lift on both front and rear slope (forget the name for that, if there is on
