Cam Card

Anyone have a cam card or specs for a Crane R-296/500-16 45???

 

Hey Mike, thanks for the reply, would the cam timing be the same if its a 45* cam?

Mike - Thats what the cam is currently installed at. I called the guy i bought the engine off of years ago and he told me he used to set it up a 50* @ .050

I had an issue with a couple of intake valves just kissing the piston up on the valve relief which i had remachined. Should i advance the cam timing?

Thanks for your help...

 

I used to set it at 37@ .050, on 48 or 45 deg.

 

thanks for the replys...

 

I recently ran into this on a nostalgia blown nitro engine. They had 8 degrees advance on the cam. Made no sense to me to move all that torque lower then you just have to burn it all off with the clutch. Of course after 900-1000' it just hated it.

35 to 37 at .050 works great. I can fax you the cam card if you give me a # to send it to

 

Thanks nmro I have the card for the cam that mike talked about above, i didnt know if the 45* card would be different, but it looks like 35* or so is about right.

 

i probley have the card you you want i will look tomorrow in the shop

i have always put them in 38* at 50th lift and put the cover on it no problems

 

Thanks Jim i appreciate it
