I was wondering since im still a noob, if this Skunk2 pro2 camshaft is still a go to install and run. Its cracked on the intake shaft on the notched end. The guy selling it said he talked to different mechanics and they said it shouldnt be a problem. I just need some opinions from guys here that know wassup.


Here is the pic:





not a problem?

 

I wouldnt run it.

 

My girlfriend looked at the pic and said no, so ..... I'd suggest no..

 

ur gf? lol and what does she know is she more knowledgable then you? lol

im asking because i dont know how the cam attaches and what it attaches to so i dont know how that crack effects it. Does anyone have a pic of a head with valvecover off and where this cracked portion sits????

 

It was suppose to be funny, and she's pretty knowledgeable, she helps me tune and build as well, when i need a hand..

dont use it.. talk to skunk2brian.

 

those ***** look torn up anyways. id stay away. thats where the dizzy plugs up to..

 

Remove your distributor from the cylinder head and you will see how the notches on the cam fit on it. Mate them and move the cam left and right while holding it up againt the dizzy. After seeing how one affects the other, I think you will be able to make a decision as to whether you want to risk it or not ;-)

 

thanks guys ill pass then. thanks!

 

pass it over here, i'll use em.

 

AllMotor GF = wise
Shes a keeper.

I would not run that. Is it marked on the end? Even through that exceptionally blurry pic it looks like the cams are funny colored. Ours are all black.

If they do turn out to be ours give me a call at 951.808.9888 and I can help you get just the one camshaft you need to make a pair.

 

I agree, being broken will likely cause timing fluctuation because the distributor key isn't properly seated. Timing fluctuations could cause your idle to be off, weird power fluctuations, poor ability to tune the car and/or lead to engine failure due to too much timing. Now you could in theory have someone weld a little piece back there, however that could warp the cam....

 

yep - As always brian = the man with the plan he'll take care of you as long as your str8 up.

 

I like your style, man.

 

 

do those look like your cams brian?

 

I would never run a damaged cam. I know it looks like it holds up and probably does when you mock it up but cams are built to exact measurements and perfection.

 

how does one crack that?

 

I am sorry but I can't tell from those pictures. If they ARE they are pretty heavily worn. Take a look at what is left of the distributor end of the camshafts. What etchings do you find in the end of the camshafts?

 

get rid of the dizzy and go COP. problem solved. HAHA!

 

idk what COP is lol

i dont have the cams someone is selling them for $200, forget it. Unless brian wants to hoook me up with a good intake cam then im not gonna bother
