Cam Button, Hydraulic (non-roller)
New user. Quick question:
Putting together a SBC 400 (stock crank/rods/pistons, 461 heads, Comp 280 hyd cam). I asked a local engine builder; he told me that running a cam button wouldn't be a bad idea. Reputable guy, has done great work for many folks.
Everything I find on cam buttons applies to rollers, though. Not sure how to go here.
Should I run a nylon button with a stock timing cover, or should I get a little more fancy with the parts? Don't want to get too fancy (i.e., $$$) if a simple fix would be adequte. We'll be turning in the ballpark of 4000 to 6500; circle track. Thanks.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
