Thread: camshaft thrust washer

Tweet

I'm building a 350 chev. I bought a 292-2H grind cam with hydraulic tappets and a double roller timing gear set. Do I need a thrust washer behind the cam gear or is that only for roller cams ?

You can put one but it isn't a necessity.

That's good because I already put the damn thing together Thanks for the response

Make sure your heads can handle the lift.

Hi, I bought the 70 cc chamber Edelbrock aluminum performer heads. The guy at the speedshop seemed confident in the head/cam combination.
