Budget 390 FE Engine Build Camshaft Install

Prev Next
We're installing Crane's 349521 hydraulic roller camshaft to reduce internal friction and improve valve-timing events. Both will improve performance. A roller cam allows for a more aggressive profile without sacrificing idle quality and hammering valvesprings. Peart gave our Crane stick generous helpings of engine-assembly lube. Never, ever use moly-based lubricants on cam journals. Use moly coat only on flat-tappet cam lobes, which aids in the break-in process.
