Camshaft KCL2

PostPost by: Bob3114 » Mon Oct 17, 2022 7:09 pm

Can anyone help with the settings for my camshafts stamped KCL2?
Cam has a lift of 8.8mm (0.346") duration is approximately 340 degrees.

message update:-

Both my camshafts are marked KCL2, I set up the exhaust cam ok, as per the L2 data.
I could not set the inlet cam ....eventually realised it's been "re-profiled"; the dwell angle is about 340 degrees (not the 320 degrees of the L2 ), lift is the similar. I don't understand why this has been done.
The only cam near this I can find is a full race one with 330 degrees dwell and greater lift, set at 60/90 timing.
Is anyone familiar with this set-up or can advise?

Presuming it is a Kent Cam L2 (KC L2) then this is what Kent list for it but are you sure it has a duration of 340 degrees.......that is wild! .......is it maybe 304degrees?

Valve clearance may be influencing the duration angle (measured at 340 degrees) as its set at 0.005".
Will adjust clearance and measure again.
Thanks for your support.

My question would be why this cam in the first place? To much duration at 302 degrees and to little lift so no midrange torque and only a small increase in top end power at 6500 rpm.

The camshafts were fitted by the previous owner who used the car for sprints.
The car was running reasonable well before having a oil feed problem, hence the head off etc.
Yes I think a camshaft change is a good idea, but not until some of the other issues are sorted, as budget permits.
I am hoping to put things back together this week and have a trial run, will update post then.
As for the oil feed problem….. will post later.
