High Performance Chevy Small Block Cams and Valvetrains High Performance
Chevy Small-Block Cams
and Valvetrains
by Graham Hansen
Without a doubt, camshafts and the engine valvetrains are the most
misunderstood areas of engine performance and have been for a
long time. Misinformation is continually passed down from
generation to generation, from Grandpa’s “3/4 race cam” to counter
top myths at the local speed shop. Since camshaft selection is vital
to making real horsepower, improper selection and tuning has cost
horsepower junkies real power for decades. Finally, help is on the
way! Graham Hansen, author of the best-selling b
ook How To Build
Big-Inch Chevy Small Blocks, takes the mystery out of camshaft and
valvetrain function, selection, and design. He covers camshaft
basics, including a thorough explanation of how a cam operates in
conjunction with the rest of the engine and valvetrain. Terms like
overlap, lobe centerline, duration, lift, and cam profiling are
discussed and comparisons between roller and flat-tappet cams are
addressed and analyzed. Rocker arms, lifters, valves, valvesprings,
retainers, guideplates, pushrods, and cam drives are all cover
ed, as
well as detailed information on how to degree a cam and choose the
proper cam for your application. Finally, matching cams to cylinder
heads, analyzing port flow, and proving it all through dyno testing is
covered.
