Cleaning Up An Old Crane Camshaft After Being In An Attic For Over 40 Years

[@BillyWillicker]

That cam is a mechanical 310deg advertised duration, 240deg@.050", 114deg centerline, .446" gross valve lift. Lash settings are .016" intake, .018" exhaust. You'll need what are called "solid lifters" and the right push-rods and rockers to go with it. Springs as well. Good luck.

@@BillyWillicker My dad said it's no good anymore. It's over 50 years old now and it's got a lot of miles on it. I just cleaned it up for display

[@BillyWillicker]

@@THATPOWERSTROKELOVER He's right. It will make a great display item. What it would cost to use would be much better spent elsewhere.

@@BillyWillicker Yea

I have a industrial leaf blower that the turbine snapped off so I might take the engine of and see if I can turn it into a little go cart. lol just noticed all the Folgers cans in the background.

Build a motor and put it in it.

@@Livelaughlove-n8t It's too old and worn out. High miles
