I'm building a "custom" head for another car brand, and custom cam prices are high, so im searching for "similar" cams that could be used instead..
So it would be great if someone could help me..:)


(sorry for poor english..)

I will do the best I can.
The spacing between the lobe sets( outlined in blue) is 36mm
The width between lobes is ( top red outline) 55.6mm
The last dimesion is 104.2mm

Custom head? Pictures please. What sort of project is this?

And no worries about the english, this is an international club!

Can't say it's fully custom, it's a head for old opel engine.:o
16v head's are rare for them, so i'm building one from a 24v 6cylinder engine.
Alot welding has been done, a new water channel, oil reture in the back,and so on..
German racers make 2,4l engines with these heads produce 320hp n/a
Custom cams around 2100usd.. :(
