Thread: Unknown cam?

Tweet

I am totally offended, Ive never seen or talked about rice on this forum. I am not sure what you payed for your cam, but summit sells brand new ones for 52 dollars. You are plain taking a chance running a cam you know nothing about, you could find the valve lift by what you are wanting to try. But the duration will be a mystery. And if the cam you bought is used, is it still any good, gauged, scored, worn anywhere. Chances are you will install it and within a couple weeks or sooner it will destroy itself. Unless you bought the cam and exact lifters it was ran on, and every lifter was marked exactly to what lobe they were ran on, if not you will be buying another one anyway. Now think that if the cam is a stock cam just like or worse then the one you are replacing, thats more wasted money. I am sorry for your financial sittuation, but running used or mystery internal parts is a very risky business practice. And if my car had to sit for another month to get a new part that is the exact one I want, I am waiting, I know because ive been there before and will be there again, no rich daddy warbucks here,
