Camshaft Q

[dvmotorsports]

What cams are available for the M42? All I have found thus far is the Metric Mechanic. I have heard about the Schrick, but have yet to see it for this engine. What else is out there? And if it's any help, I am looking for a mid to high range cam setup. The Metric Mechanic is a top end cam that I am not ready for yet. Peak torque is around 5700 and peak hp is at redline (w/out their chip). I don't want to spin 9K on stock internals. So basically that cam is for later on down the road.

TIA

Joe

Hit up Terry Tinney Performance Motors, he has a contact that can regrind yours or make new ones to your specs.

i ended up doing a custom grind from http://www.drcamshafts.com he has done a ton of euro work and is well priced (both for $300)

here are my specs
252 degree, 214 @ .050" with .405" valve lift.
should be getting them back next week

hello joe
i'm new here, first of all i'm sorry for my english :).
i have those schrick cams with light flywheel elec. vent. and aftermarket header 4 in 1 (stock is 4 in 2 in 1) i hope you understand my writing:).
no cat. mid to high range pretty good.
schrick only has one set for the m42.
other option is dbilas i have one of those in my 325 e30,and they have 9 different cams for the m42 from sport to oval track and group n.
go to www.dbilas.de left under at the screen you can put it in english.

greetz john.
