Cam basics 101
I apologize for my ignorance, but can someone tell me the diff between different kinds of camshafts, ie, solid roller, hydraulic roller, etc.
Also, what do the specs on the cam mean? For example, 226/226, does that refer to duration of the cam when the piston is as its maximum height?
Thanks, I have to learn sometime, or somewhere. If someone has a link, that'll work too.
