Thread: Counter Rotation Vortec cam question (boat)

Tweet

Things that I do remember from my Vortec builds:

Cranks on ALL Vortec motors (96 and up) are 1 pc rear main seal
Front of crank has slip on reluctor wheel for CPK (crank position sensor)
Front of crank accepts standard type balancer

Cam has NO fuel pump lobe on Vortec
Vortecs are all roller lifters
Vortec heads do not guide the pushrods, the rocker arms are have the slot that rides on the valve tip
The distributor drive gear looks normal

I don't think I'd use a flat tappet cam in a block that is roller-ready. CompCams will probably have the best price on a roller cam for your application. Call up one of the tech guys and talk with them....The first cam on the list is usually the one to use for a mild application and the first one in this case in the marine, roller cam, carbureted section is the 08-416-8. That is the number for standard rotation. Talk to the tech guy to order reverse rotation.
