Just wanted to confirm the lsa on the new cams ground weren't overlooked. Sounds like they're fine though. Sometimes if an engine builder doesn't build many marine engines they simply overlook the importance of such. Btw tx pics to 231233151three

If you run a tstat go back to a circ pump..tstat with crossovers will overheat.

What lsa you have? 114 or 112

What are the HP500 cam specs again? I knows its a 110LSA, but how much overlap does it have

Which cam has more overlap, the cam he's currently using, or the HP500 cam? Isn't overlap the issue with reversion, and not so much a specific LSA number?

In my current engines? Really would be irrelevant, as I'm running dry pipes.

In the old boat I had, the 741 crane cam with stainless marine wet bravo style tails, that cam was a 112LSA. Didn't have reversion issues.

He's running 112 also with same valve timing within a deg on opening and closing. I saw his cam card.

That's what's messed up is he's dry all the way back also so lsa isn't the problem.
