datzenmike Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 That's a stereotype, almost certainly racist, believable, fucked and funny. Making this an ostrich. 1 Quote Link to comment

Around where I live, that’s completely true. People were literally selling things like bootleg Tide laundry detergent. They caught a couple dudes recently who stole thousands in “small business” covid relief, and were laundering money via iPhone 12’s. Edited February 2, 2021 by mainer311 1 Quote Link to comment

I even struggled with the plow alittle, I think they said we got 18 inches in leominster, should have done a cleanup before bed last night.... We always seem to get that one person near my house who likes to park on the road during snow and during a parking ban, ..... they never tow but the plows have to drive around so it narrows our road... I overheard him saying his car got hit and hes blaming the plows... also a white car... he thinks hes going to get a payday from the town.... goodluck.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted February 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Yeah. The town should come back and plow into it again. 1 Quote Link to comment

mainer311 Posted February 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 What do you guys think of a cam that has .450 lift and 280 duration? 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Lift is always ok the more the better as long as there are no clearance problems. Door open farther lets in more. Spring must be stiff enough to force the rocker to stay on the lobe and not ski jump. (float) 280 is getting up there and at the limit of 'stacking' the compressed spring. On a reground stock cam I think increasing the duration also increases the overlap, the time where both valves are open at the same time. Increased overlap favors high RPM running but not low speed, specially idle where intake vacuum is lowered because of the open exhaust. Idle and low speed response are poorer with more overlap. A benefit of high overlap is weak cylinder filling when starting a high compression engine. The starter doesn't have to work as hard as it would with a stock cam. At low speed the engine has no trouble filling the cylinder and doubling the RPM doubles the hp. As it revs to a peak, the time for air to get in and out is shortened and power drops off. Increasing the duration allows you to continue filling the cylinder longer at higher RPMs and continue to the double the RPM, double the HP and the power peak rises higher and higher but at the expense of the lower speeds. This where variable valve timing on new cars allows great low speed torque but incredible power when revved up. It all depends on what you can live with. Carried to an extreme a race cam sees little driving below 6,000 RPMs and would be terrible on the street. I can't say what you would prefer. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think that's close to what I'm running... I think it's a 270/280 duration and I think it had the same lift... Couldnt find the actual specs online but I have them at home..... I like the cam but dont really have a comparison.... the spec rpm range was 2500 to 6000..... good for street... Are you wondering if its enough? 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm just trying to get an opinion on whether I'm going to hate it or not. It's a reground stock Nissan casting, which I've heard is very durable. It came with this W58 head that I've been building . The intake ports were opened up to 1.50" and ported all the way down to the seats. It also had the exhaust liners removed. It would seem to me that someone was building this up to be a race head of sorts. I'm just hoping that it's drivability around town isn't horrible. I think that the manifold that Pierce sells for the DCOE 40's is about 1.50" on the head side, so I would assume it would be a good match. Looking at the charts, I'm most likely going to run 36mm venturis, which is at the 40's high limit. I don't really plan on going beyond that. 45's would technically be better, but I already have these gorgeous 40mm stacks. I actually reached out to Pierce recently and their K667 kit comes with really crap jetting/venturis. I don't know how much they'd cater to what I want.

Crashtd420 Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 I think you'll like it, especially for the street.... I'll check my cam sheet when I get home to make sure its similar to what I'm running..... I like the rpm range of my cam... I had thought about a bigger cam but it seems the rpm range increases as you do... so I think the low end would suffer.... It's going to be night and day different for you either way going from a stock L16 to a cammed L20B.... I'd run it.... 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Make sure that manifold is a 1.5 if that's what you want. I had a Cannon and it was only 1.25in If you had a choice I would get the higher lift up to say 475 as the stock springs still will be fine if used.(Bind) cause you loose that much in valve lash adjustment .008 -012 1 Quote Link to comment

If you don't like it, like REALLY don't like it, throw the L16 cam in till you can find an L20B cam or an L20B cam if you have one. Cams are easy to change. 1 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) I think Mike just said it best... You have it... Run it... I think you'll be happy with it... as I said it's close to my cam specs and mine doesnt cause me any issues.... My specs because I said I'd post them for you....

mainer311 Posted February 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) A little bit of progress. I have the cam in too now, but kept the rockers loose so that the valves aren’t protruding out the bottom. Edited February 7, 2021 by mainer311 2 Quote Link to comment

This is my reloading bench in the basement, so it stays clean. 2 Quote Link to comment
