d3c0y Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hey Guys, Up for sale is my ameri-cam L series cam shaft i bought in the states. This is not your average street cam and you will need a few mods to support it - i.e. it wont work with twin SU's and a stock head. Lift is .555" and has 300 intake, 316 exhaust duration. It is ground on a 111 lobe centre. It has been ground on fresh Datsun billett and has never been fitted to an engine. It requires .263" lash pads which i can part with for aditional cost. RPM Range: 4000-8500 RPM $350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dat2kman Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Who/Which company supplied this, what model is it, and has it been used. Was it ground on a aftermarket Billet, or is it a regrind on a stock Datsun Camshaft, and the supplier is saying it is a Billet stick ( Datsun have not produced billet blanks for a very long time !! ) Pm me a scan of its spec sheet and I will talk to my engine guy.

d3c0y Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hey Jason As stated it's an Ameri-cam I don't have the cam with me at the moment so I can't tell you what the model number is but I can bring it with me on the weekend when I grab the head. I did google the model number and didn't come up with anything. The cam was ground on a datsun blank and has not been used. I don't have the spec sheet.

luvemfast Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 If it is a billet ground cam, why would it need different lash pads? Its too big a cam for my set up and needs, good luck witht the sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3c0y Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 You need to do that because it doesnt run a stock base circle (?is that what it's called?) to get more lift out of it i think. Also you need to set the correct rocker angle to get the correct wipe patten on the arms. Because this is different for every motor I doubt that .263 will be correct for all valve set ups but at least will be a good starting point. The lash pads i can sell are .290 and .360 so you could grind them to whatever you require. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dat2kman Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Is there a stamped number(s)/letters on the back of it? Does the lobes have tiny small drilled holes ie an internal oiled cam rather than the early spray bar type ( no holes on lobes or tower bearing area? Hey, how come if ther is no cam spec/timing sheet you can remeber the tech details on it!!! I cant remeber what I did yesterday let alone engine tech, I have to have it recorded in journals for each car I have! I will ask my engine guy what he thinks, re its specs as quoted above. yes I think i might have to give you your money back, and give you the head and do swaps on the cam, I will let you know. BTW which weekend you planning to come up?? I am busy this w/end spraypainting the 120Y rally car, I got accepted into Targa High Country in it, we are car number 520, so I now have to a bit of work and finish it off!

d3c0y Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 Pretty sure it's internally oiled, and use it has a number stamped on the end of it. I got the specs on email when i bought the cam so no mind trickery there. I was going to try and come up this weekend, i've got your mobile so i can call you first before i come.
