Getting ready to buy a new cam so the motor can go back together. I'm going to replace it with a stock grind but was wondering about the difference in where you buy them from. Pelican has a stock webcam for $130.00, GPR sells an aftermarket or reground cam (their words) for $63.00. Differences? Recommendations? Thanks.

Having seen numerous failures of various supplier's reground cams and lifters over the years, I've settled on new cams and matching lifters from WebCam. The Cap'n

A cam can do lots to liven an engine.
I would ask Jake, Brad & others what they reccomend.
Are you keeping the stock injection? Exhaust, etc...?

I'd offer Jake some sort of bribe and see if you could get a cam and lifters from him....even if it costs $50 or more than the vendors listed, it'll be well worth it......

You will also need the webcam lifters they sell them for $142 so you are looking at $272 not $130.

Yes,
I have several cams that are stock FI compatible. These are actually made just for the system..

I own 43 cam grinds at web that are not in their catalog. I have a cam for any application, but need to know engine specifics before I can choose one for you.

i'm guessing he wants to know:


motor size (bore and stroke if not stock), compression ratio, details on the heads, fuel injection used (not sure if he has a different cam for D-jet and L-jet) and intended use of the car....daily driver, auto-x'r only, track or ?????

I'm guessing you need this car as a daily driver....

It's a stock '76 2.0 w/d-jet. Euro P/C's. Don't know what the compression ratio is. Heads, crank, rods, and cases are still at Rimco. Occasional driver.

Jake, just for $hits and giggles, do you have a recommended camshaft for a bone stock 1.8 that is to have a small turbocharger installed for daily use?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

how much would it cost for parts to split a case to replace a cam? Would it be okay to re-use the crank and cam bearings?

Stock cam Jake. Idles like a kitten. Running SSI he's with a bursch as I have heat.

Thinking about raising the compression ratio.
Thinking about those squisy pistons
Thinking about more duration on the exhaust.

engines coming apart soon to fix whatever I broke overreving it
