Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the primary purpose of an un-ground blank camshaft?
A: An un-ground blank is designed for engine builders and machinists who need to create a custom lobe profile. It allows you to tailor the lift, duration, and timing to specific track conditions or engine modifications that off-the-shelf cams cannot accommodate.
Q: Is this camshaft compatible with my Briggs LO206 or Animal engine?
A: Yes, this blank is specifically designed for the Briggs Animal and LO206 engine platforms. Please note that because it is a blank, it requires professional machining and grinding before it can be installed in your engine.
Q: What material is this camshaft made from?
A: This camshaft is manufactured from high-carbon steel, providing the necessary hardness and durability required to withstand the stresses of high-performance racing environments once the final profile is ground.
Q: Do I need to upgrade other valvetrain components when using a custom cam?
A: Absolutely. When grinding a custom profile, especially one with higher lift or aggressive duration, you must ensure your valve springs, retainers, and pushrods are capable of handling the increased stress and potential for valve float. Always verify your clearances after installation.
