Some information on our camshaft program.
For a easy select, we chose four different camshaft categories. The categories show our recommendation for the application area of the car.
Road : This cam type is designed to installed into a standard produktion road car. No other modifications are necessery.
Sport : This cam type is designed for the sporty driver. We recommend the use of a ajusted chip.
Rallye : This cam type is designed for rally or slalom competition cars. We recommend the use of twin carburators or multi throttle injection systems with this cam type.
Oval track :This cam type is designed for long-time-race-, hill-climbing- and dragster- competition cars.
In principle, all camshafts are on stock and ready to be delivered.
Some camshafts require reinforced valve springs. For this, we have developed valve spring sets made of high quality materials. We ask of you to inquire the necessity of reinforced valve springs The part number under "Spring set" includes all necessary parts like bearings, spring seats etc. Single components can be supplied on inquiry.
When ordering, please state the complete vehicle data and what it will be used for, for example the road, rally, oval track, etc.
When exchanging the camshaft, be sure to also exchange all parts that come into contact with it, ( for example the dumping lever, tappets, valve adjustment plates) to ensure that the camshaft surface won't be damaged. We offer dumping levers made of improved materials especially for Opel-OHC-camshafts.
All camshafts are delivered with exact installation guide and data, and, if not specified differently, are to be built in like the standard camshafts.
It was our intention not to list all vehicles by name to avoid confusion. As said at the beginning, we can regrind the standard camshafts for nearly all vehicles at home and abroad, if there are no blanks available.
