288 solid lifter cam question

[boschvette]

I have bought a 288 solid lifter cam for my 330 stroked vp motor,it has currently got yella terra non adjustable roller rockers on it.
Do i need bigger adjustable rockers or will these do the job?
i am not sure what cam(it is currently hydralic) is in it at the moment but it makes about 200rwkw and revs to about 5600rpm.
cheers Paul

You will deffinatly need a set of adjustable rockers for a 288 cam, you need adjustables for any solid cam so the valve lash can be set.

Cant he just use shims under the non adjustable rockers? Sure i know it will take a while to make adjustment, but should save a bit of cash.. Im probably wrong.. im kinda guessing..

nan need adjusters if you have adjusted them before you will know what i mean plus soild lifters
need adjusting evry 5000km

thanks fellas anything else that i need to know?
does anyone else run this cam and what do you rev it to? and are you happy with it?

yeah u will want sum decent valve springs!

 

[ari666]

he is gonna need more than valve springs... the head will have to be machined for doubles, adjustable rockers, you would want hardened pushrods for the increased side loading. 10-10:5 comp. wow, so zero decked, flat tops and a bit off the heads too for good measure

mind you, if it is making 200RWKW, then i guess it will have all that stuff already.
