    Default cam/follower question

    have access to a 468 Esslinger hydraulic/solid cam...currently it is setup as a solid...can i take the same cam and followers and put them in a hydraulic head,or is there a difference between followers for hydraulic vs solid cams?

    a solid head isnt allowed in any of the classes i have run,so ive never used one and dont know what will interchange.

    I've used a hydraulic cam and followers and set them in a solid head but not the other way around. I always use the same followers for solid and hyd.

    Eric, You can run that cam in the hyd head. The only difference is the padded followers. The cam is designed to run either way. The followers with that cam dont care. Most solid cams have ramp differences, Essy made that one to go either way. BTW, Do I know where that cam came from???

    I know that this is off base a little from the original question,but I have that 468 essy cam and I don't like it either. We are going to start running at a different track some and they have to pull vacuum

    Any ideas on a good vacuum cam that pulls good to 7500.

    Have to pull 16"@900rpm.
