U20 SOLEX CAM $130-02

These are original Nissan camshafts, not reproductions. This cam was original equipment on cars that came equipped with the Mikuni-Solex carbs. Lift is .456, duration is 280 degrees. The SU cam was .44" and 256 duration. This is considered a "mild" cam, it works great with the SU carbs as well. Idle is still good, just a little bit "lumpier." Will tend to "wake up" the car past 3500 rpm. Unless you have both cams side by side it can be difficult for the untrained eye to tell the "SU" from the "SOLEX" cam. You can though take a small mirror and put it behind the rear end of the cam with it mounted in the car.

The "SU" cam will be stamped with an "A", the "Solex" cam will be stamped with a "B".

NOTE: If you have broken a cam, it is due to the towers being out of alignment; the camshaft is not at fault. This could be caused by past head warpage not being repaired properly; or from removing the towers and slapping them back on. Things are not always as easy as they would appear!
