Trying to figure out the guts of my 2.0 so that I can have my carbs tuned for the engine. How do I identify this, is this the bolt on web cam gear, or is it stock, and is the number on the cam significant?
Thanks Chris (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i219.photobucket.com-13409-1474757784.1.jpg) |

Advancing the cam will add more low end power, while retarding the cam will add power in the upper rpm range. Each does this at the cost of the other.
Advancing or retarding the cam also shifts the powerband up or down the rpm range. The cam could be any brand with just a Dial-in Cam gear. |

The cam could be any brand with just a Dial-in Cam gear. And this is what I hope to figure out, what actual cam this is, can't seem to reference the "76" stamped on it to anything... Thanks for the input on the cam gear everyone! The car put down 118hp with hit set the way you see it, so I don't see any reason to screw with it, just an interesting part I want expecting to find in there! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) |
