    Hey guys.
    Wondering if anyone has an old Crane catalog that has this cam listed.
    R425-2
    I've looked around and can't seem to find anything online.
    I appreciate your help and thanks for stopping by. 20230212_111305.jpg
     
  2. If the letters 425 on the nose are an indication of lift(as in .425 lift) be aware u will probably have exhaust valve contacting the spark plug unless u run a very short plug in the head that will probably leave some threads(in the head) exposed—-good source for carbon buildup and possible detonation. Very few flatheads run that much lift on the street—-most are in dragsters trying to make some serious h.p.!! 2E611D7E-FA78-4E54-B606-0771FBC68BC0.jpeg

    Thank you very much John. That's kinda what I was thinking. I did just pick up a 4⅛" crank the other day so maybe that's where this is going. I'm supposed to build some monster drag motor!
