Camshaft identify

Post by stevieturbo »

I had a few cams I could sell...but silly me left them uncoated, and they've rusted.

There is one, but Ive no idea what it is.

Markings are as follows

1003

LX581 112deg

CAMSHAFT lift is approx 0.305" on both intake and exhaust lobes.

The only cams I ever recall buying, are from Real Steel, or I had one custom grind done by Kent, and one by Piper. I can identify these, and the RC87.
No idea what the above one is.

How did you mesure that lift.
As if you just mesure the cam with a dial gauge, then you need to multiply buy 1.6 as that the rocker ratio.

This may give you a better match.

Lift is at the camshaft measured with a vernier.

The RS typhoon has a lobe height of .303, I guess it could be one of those.

Real Steel cams that I have had carry a Real Steel part number.
