Sutphen 30 I think is who uses the bullet replacement cam. Will be interesting to see if he chimes in also. Those springs that are on card seem like the same ones on 741 hyd roller cam.

160 closed @ 1.968
468 open @ 1.348

Seems pretty light pressures for that cam but it's what the card shows.

change the installed height to 1.88 or even 1.90 and those pressures will bump up, but as jd said still seems light

These will go back pretty much 100% stock, they have 82 untouched hours now. Still have merc seals. If upgrades are going to be made these will be sold and a couple whipped 557's will replace them.

I'll have to look at specs but 1.88 will bind
Just checked, bind is at 1.200, with .672 lift too close for my liking even after lash

I have 2 sets of springs, retainers,seals and keepers at work. I'll post the part numbers tomorrow.

we used pac springs w/ a seat pressure of 225lbs.

Sounds more realistic. Why would crane have 99876 on the cam card I wonder. Makes no sense unless it's an errror. I big one though. Comp 943 would sound much closer. Will be interesting to see what jj30 has for his.

JJ30 03-12-2017 11:42 AM

I'm thinking 160-170lbs range is what they are. It's been awhile since I figured them out.

Bill, do you have a part number? Or remember outside diameter of the springs?
