[65sixbanger]

Hey guys i am going to sell the torque cam. I never even installed it, and with school I have almost no time to work on anything anymore.

Just give me an offer

Thanks,
Lance

Im not sure if I remember this what is a torque cam? give me more information. What amount of money you have in it?

 

[65sixbanger]

It is Type4's torque cam, and I don not have the specs on it. I spent 180 somethin on it...

 

[Dave7.3]

How much would you want for it including shipping to 57762?

 

[65sixbanger]

Well I dont want to make an offer to high, but since I didnt even use it I guess I will just sell it for what I paid for. I dont remember excatcly... 185 + shipping.

Also if you are interested, you might want to have a press to get the gear off your cam and to put it on this.

He paid 189.00 plus shipping

Sorry I couldnt any results to yall, life after high school has really changed!!

What else needs to be done to run this cam? I am really interested.. Shipping quote to 97530 please.

All you do is pull yours out, take the nut off that holds the gear on, and press it off. It has a keyway, so then you just put it back on this cam. Also, I dont think I have the fuel pump lobe on there, but that comes off easy on your cam.

I really dont know what this weighs or how it would be shipped. Kind of am awkward shape...

Really anyone can just install the cam in their motor. We really don't need to replace the lifters but personally I would. A roller bearing roller lifter will match up fine with another like cam... These lifters don't wear into the cams nor do they wear like a normal hydraulic lifter does.... You will need a couple of valve cover gaskets.. One valley pan gasket and maybe a front crank main seal. We do have two gaskets on the front cover that protects the gears plus a water pump gasket... I can't really think of what else needs to be replaced.... Those special harmonic balancer tools and cam gear remover-installer would be nice to have too....

what kind of performance gain are we talking here???

 

[65sixbanger]

Well I think it lowers the torque curve around 200 rpms. On a chevy idi, the overall power was increased by around 10% IIRC.

AFAIK, there's no published amount of gain. From what I understand, installing a torque cam will definitely kick you in the pants.

That's what I've understood. IIRC someone was talking about doing a before and after dyno run to try and get some hard numbers, but not sure if/when that'll happen.

I didn't have an opportunity to get a ride in Russ's truck last time he was down here, but I've heard from others that the difference is VERY impressive. I really want to put one in, but given that other than a few top-end things I don't really need to do much on my engine in my upcoming project, I'm not sure I can justify tearing it so far down...OTOH since I have to pull the turbo anyways, it's not that much more to get the intake manifold off...

tim-
you just want to consider moving into the loft at the shop. by the time you get done, there won't be a nut or bolt you wouldn't have turned.
