Ls headed 4cyl

[CamKing]

I imagine our friend here mike Jones could come up with something.

Mike did one cam for my SC1 head engine, it was bad fast but we couldn't find any cam cores. Found a cam to regrind from Brayton and it died right away. Hardness was too shallow and the roller started eating into it. Maybe with his new tool steel billet deal he could get something done. I tried to have some cores made but the best I could do was 12 minimum at the time and I bulked at that proposition

The issue is getting the gears hobbed on the cam cores. No one wants to even bother with 1-10 pieces. If you go with a crank trigger, and don't need the gears, we can make a small run.

There was one Honda at chili bowl that ran really well but the motor kicked the bucket in the A feature on his prelim night not sure who the builder was on I know 4 piston was doing some as well as Stewart engines for the hpd program but I don’t think it ever caught on.

I was running crank trigger, if I ever decide to put the 3 I have together I may be in touch. Changed classes and they are just sitting right now

I called Steve at the time, I couldn't get a call back so gave up. I would have paid up for a good cam, had a deal going with another engine builder and he was working with Gaerte to try to get some volume and the pricing better but Gaerte bailed out was what I was told. Gaerte was working with Brodix as well to get blocks made but again that died. I think finances were a problem

That's the problem with LSM. A friend went to them because they were the only ones who would hob a gear. They were not the best communicating, but do good work. I think they have some big OEM contracts, so one-off stuff is "whenever we can fit you in" which could be a LOOONNGG time.

If the rules allowed a crank trigger, it would have been a lot easier and cheaper.

If our tool steel cam cores take off, we will buy the tooling to CNC the gears on the cores. Until then, I can't justify the cost, because the OEM we make cores for doesn't have gears on their cams.

The only thing I can think of off the cam would be the oil pump, and even then that seems to be going away (for good reason).

My modified class stuff is dry sump /crank trigger so no gears needed. I have also ran a poor man crank trigger. Belt drive distributor off of the crank

My question was answered recently on another message board I frequent. A outfit called deppeengineering is offering billet blocks that can utilize ls type head. Looks like they’re in my area as they show a 317 area code

Youll want an LSR head to avoid getting waxed heavily
