    Cam Button, Hydraulic (non-roller)

     



    New user. Quick question:

    Putting together a SBC 400 (stock crank/rods/pistons, 461 heads, Comp 280 hyd cam). I asked a local engine builder; he told me that running a cam button wouldn't be a bad idea. Reputable guy, has done great work for many folks.

    Everything I find on cam buttons applies to rollers, though. Not sure how to go here.

    Should I run a nylon button with a stock timing cover, or should I get a little more fancy with the parts? Don't want to get too fancy (i.e., $$$) if a simple fix would be adequte. We'll be turning in the ballpark of 4000 to 6500; circle track. Thanks.

    you can run the nylon or get the aluminum and file it to fit the cover.....they make a long and a short to match a recessed cover or the bubbled cover.....I cut it larger than measure and just let the cover dimple when tightened
