Camshafts which one ? An easy choice after this .

[@misunderestimator5283]

You’re an amazing communicator of complex mechanical subjects. I really appreciate your work

[@achimwieler5862]

Best explanation on the subject I have seen so far. Well done! 👍

Steve, Easy to understand explanation and a wake up call for the boy racers lol🤣😂 We know how the high lift or race cam has to be matched with RPM otherwise they sound like a bag of bolts and very uncomfortable to drive in modern traffic. I have had to learn to drive my track Mini in a completely different way. Cheers Dave

Thanks Dave

[@jeffbrassard1268]

Thank you for your very thorough explanation, you cleared up a great deal for me.

[@terryrobison]

Excellent explanation. You have a great video library (and cars as well).

[@D3Sshooter]

Thank you

very well explained thank you

Thnak you

@@D3Sshooter Steve any way to know without opening the engine what type of camshaft my MG B has. I think that one of the previous owner may have change it to a fast road setting, but I’m not sure. The factory 0.015 valve clearance doesn’t seem the right setting and the car requires 15 degrees advance it idle to run smooth. Tganks

Thanks for explaining how the cams work. 8 days ago I bought a bmw e30 325i for road use as a sommer car. It has a race cam, and I agree with you, its not really good for daily/road use, but it is fun when you give it some throttle. I will probably get enough for it at some point and then replace it with a standard cam. I don't know anything about cams and was wondering if it is possible to get a cam that is something in between a standard and a race cam, or does that not make any sense? I was also wondering about how much HP it gains from the cam? An E30 325i with an M20 engine should as standard produce 170 HP. Mine has an open/cone air filter, race cam, headers and a Supersprint exhaust. What should I expect, 190 HP ish?

[@D3Sshooter]

Hi , yes there are cams that are called fast road and they hold the middle between a race cam ( torque/power in the high RPM range) and a normal cam . The are ok in the mid range of your RPM's. However, changes to the induction system , cam and exhaust should always be accompanied with a fuel map adjustment in the ECU... If you do se, I would expect around 200-220 HP pending on the chip tuning...

Love your work, Steve 👍

Big thanks to you Steve 👍

Good analogy 👍!

Very well explained Sir.

[@scuderiapraga6815]

Superb as always

That really was excellent, thank so much :)

[@philipslater9450]

Well explained. Thankyou

[@salimjibreel6586]

Thank you

Thank you

Regardless of the use, the cam must match the compression ratio and breathing capabilities of he engine.

[@bshnabel]

Very good 👍

[@m.b.smoshitoa8325]

Hi Steve, I struggle a lot on timing twin cam especially if no timing marks visible. If you have time make a video on how can one time such. I learn a lot from you and develop courage to take chance on engines because of you. But I repent because I opened BMW E46, 320d with m47 engine and seriously there are no timing marks there and cam shaft has no key way for can sprockets.

Hi Steve, great video. Does compression ratio also play a roll in choosing the proper cam for your engine? I also race a MGB but with a compression of about 10:1. Would a Kent 719sp be suitable for my engine?

[@graceenginedevelopments]

Good video

White noise? Many racers unlike me don't like science. 300 duration power band hi RPM, under 300 duration power band low end torque? Cam card only see numbers.
