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!
