So what's everyone doing for camshafts these days?

There's a 295deg Lunati Solid cam 3 ft. from Me that wouldn't hold a valve adjustment on the BB Olds it was in, the "solid" lifters were actually just that, a hyd. unit w/a hardened tubular spacer. Did not hold up well, JRob's on the right track...
We (Myself and JRobb) have the same idea worded differently. Let’s look at the posts;
I've got an idea to limit the plunger travel on the stock roller tappets I've been dying to try. J.Rob

Cylindrical insert

Think spacer/puck. J.Rob
A spacer/ puck. If we look at the shape of a puck, it is round and has a thickness. ****! I just described a cylinder.

On the Olds engine.

I have no idea what’s what on a BB Oldsmobile nor do I care. It’s the last big block is ever touch.
I dont get it
If you are going to lock up a hydraulic roller lifter with a puck why not just use a solid roller and take avantage of the weight savings?
Are “We” using a Hyd. roller cam” or is he using a Hyd. roller cam? Secondly I was responding to his post on what his thoughts were on the subject. I’m doing no such thing.

I have also noticed in the industry standard and short travel lifters. Have fun with that one and discuss it with the inventors and users.

With that said, why would “YOU” limit the travel of a Hyd. cam? Why didn’t you get the right cam to begin with.


Same thing happened to me. RRR gave me the secret, lol.

Look at the very bottom of the home page for a Red Square. Click on it to go to the secret cam pages.

Big Thanks! For the help.
RRR has posted that up before, the page with all the numbers. Shout out to RRR!
