Finally cracked open the packaging today.


These things really are a work of art. It's a shame they won't be visible once they're in the motor. The finish on these cams is incredible. The fitment in the the cam gears is snug. All the lobes line up perfectly.


K2 Mark III, first consumer set.


With the intake advanced fully & the exhaust retarded fully, you'll run into some problems. This is with the lash set at 0.011", the "hot" spec for the cams. :wow:


I found the "minimum" clearance point. Well, in practice you won't want to be anywhere close to this point. I actually found that at 0 retard on the exhaust, things are pretty tight to begin with. There really is not much need to retard the exhaust cam as the exhaust centerline appears to be set very aggressively to begin with. However when I have time, I'll play around with retard on the dyno sometime, and I need to know my limits for that.


In case you were wondering what peak lift on the exhaust side looks like.


And peak lift on the intake side.


Coming up next, claying the motor.
