Help on cams!

[Blak Pearl]

Hi, so I took my head off yesterday and im trying to verify what cams these are. I know they are either 280s or 288 but just dont know by who? I purchased them around 3 or 4 years ago from gastroker. Any help was be grateful. Thanks

I want to say they are BC Cams, The "ES 4604" It what leads me to this.

Why not ask Mike? You didn't know what cams you bought?

 

[Blak Pearl]

Thats what I was thinking so I contacted bc and crower and both stated that either bc would be stamped on it or crower

I have sent mike 2 emails but no response. It has been awhile there for I cant remember. But I know they were 280s or 288s. Could of sworn they were crowers

I have held a few sets of the BC cams, and do not recall seing "BC" stamped on them.

I know Keford, and HKS are stamped on the cam.
Comp engraves there cams.

In the first picture you posted. On the right, is where the BC identification mark should be engraved. My BC 272's are engraved there. I think that BogusSVO is right in saying that they are BC cams.

Here is a picture, with the part of the camshaft that I am talking about circled in red:

The cams say bc102. So when I called bc he said they are the 280s.

 

[BogusSVO]

Cool deal

If you will take a few pics, and simple measurements and post in the thread, link below, to help others at a later time.

[Blak Pearl]

Oh nice. I am debating if I want to throw in the fp5r cams in the car

 

[hotrodssnova]

Yeah bc102 are the 280s. Bc201 272 bc103 288 discontinued bc103-2 are new grind 284 280 I will be testing them soon

Is that bc201 a typo? I have bc101 on my 272's.

Yes, I would have to say Kelton fat fingered the keyboard.

BC101 are the 272 number

Looking at the journals on those, i would say that they are not usable. They look to be pretty scarred up to me.

 

[Blak Pearl]

They are at the machine shop getting some tlc

If they are taking out those deep groves it may be wise when you get them back to check the base circle to see if they are still to specs.:thumbup:
