BC 272 cam spec card needed urgently

[THE411]

I just got a phone call from my engine builder to tell me that the brains trust over at BC failed to supply the cams with a spec sheet. So if anyone has one could they please send me a copy! I have searched the net but cant seem to find too much info other than the usual stuff. Thanks

They are individual specific normally, or are you after a degree wheel?

 

[THE411]

He is after the card that normally comes with the cams so he can set them up for run in then once it is run in i will have the thing tuned and adjusted.

You will have to get a dial in wheel and manually work out the spec's yourself if maker hasn't given the spec's card of that cam. That's the hard way I know:thumbsdown: but its well worth doing by tuner to actually know the spec's I know Meek Auto do this when installing cams to check the spec sheet supplied is correct.(not always the case)

If your setting up the cams straight off the spec sheet without a dial wheel your blind guessing that the spec's are accurate and some cams spec sheets have been a little out which is what does tuners heads in :lol:

There's some good info in this post here re degreeing in cams which might help

Just been out to the garage
i think i got what your after..

Now to work out the scanner...

 

[crossam]

Is this what your after... just uploaded it to my webserver for you

 

[BMGTZ]

I think that would be it, as that is all I have ever seen in the sets i have had.

 

[THE411]

crossam....if you were here i would give you a kiss! haha

I'm pretty sure thats what he is after, just to get the engine ready to run so i can tune it after it has been run in. The engine builder doesn't really want the engine on the dyno until its run in.

 

[crossam]

glad i could be of help, you caught me on the computer just at the right time.

 

[THE411]

What dors it say in the red circle above? It's a little blurry. Thanks dude!

 

[crossam]

you made me get up off my chair

timing events correct at 0.500" lift

 

[THE411]

look on the bright side...... while your up, you can grab another beer!!!

Did your cams come with any other paper work at all? I am gonna give BC a reaming tomorrow when i call them about this. i'll be after a new set of cams for it with new paper work haha

What? You expected proper cam set up specs with them?
Buy some Kelfords and see what you get :thumbsup:

Agreed even Camtech cam's come with a hand written spec's card on inlet and exhaust cam lift & duration degree's :thumbsup:

Whom ever is building your engine should definitely have a manual dial wheel gauge and be checking lift & duration themselves any way which add's to the professionalism of setting up your engine's new cams :w00t:

 

[THE411]

I thought a proper cam card would have been the norm for any manufacturer. Anyhow I rang BC america this morning and got nothin new so the engine builder is using the dial gauge now.

 

[Liberoz]

so the engine builder is using the dial gauge now.

Like most true mechanic's worth their salt would do.:thumbsup:

 

[rob323]

You can use a dial gauge and a degree wheel but unless you know the proper cam specs, you are still guessing on where to put the cam, aren't you not?
