DonM F1 Diesel

Wait for the 8620 SAE gas-carburized, Billet Steel cams. Should be ready in a month or so. Super strong, hard as hell lobes ( 60+ rockwell ) and basically unbreakable. Pricing is very competitive. No bushings need to be installed in the block. Direct drop in. Will run on stock tappets as well. No billet tappets needed.

:rockwoot:
 
Sounds like a winner Don!
I was going to run a similar cam (without bushings/billet tappets etc) but I wanted to be 100% sure things were working out with that application first.
I didn't want to be a guinea pig with a block/engine at stake if things didn't work out.

How will that work don with no bushings. take the bushings out and you have lots of play in the two ends and the block would have to be machined to fit a cam that has all the same size journals ( same as the ends need to be to fill the bearingless ends), so that would not be a drop in cam now would it.:bang

So yea it's a drop in AFTER you bore and machine the cam bores. make sure you touch on that next time you post about your new space age cam design.

Cause it sounded just like a true drop in replacement in your post$.02

Are you aware that the B blocks only have one cam bushing on #1 journal ?

Metalurgic testing has shown that 8620 has a slight affinity for the cast in our engine blocks. Some have gotten away with running with no bushings, others have not. I can say its not good when the cam and block weld themselves together.:badidea:

Yes, I agree! Steel gas-carbed steel parts hate cast iron blocks. We worked around the problem and may let the cat out of the bag soon as to how. As the dealers I use know, I dont do anything fast. I have been running one in my truck for 21 months with no adverse problems.
