CAMS AND VALVE SPRINGS
PERFORMANCE CAMS: ground on NEW cores
NOTE: All new cam cores for Y-Blocks are manufactured with insufficient oil groove in center journal resulting in reduced oil flow to rocker arms. Check before installing any new camshaft. Many new cores have excessive material between last lobe and distributor gear. Check before installing any high lift cam.
