Your opinion on andrews 26 cams

[clap]

thanks for the info everybody

I've done quite a few low $$$ builds on early TCs 88 inchers using just cleaned up 06 heads, .030" cometic gaskets and the 26 cams.  All were fun rides.

I always checked cams for clearance, even bolt ins, a few wraps of electrical tape over the lobes before a quick check in the case.

FSG please explain the tape check

[FSG]

do one cam at a time

measure the cam then wrap the cam lobe width multiple wraps of electrical tape and then measure again to determine how much you've added to the cam lobe 

insert the cam plate and cams into the cam chest and see if the cam rotates freely, if not clearance is required,
put tape on the other cam and repeat.

[FSG]

this is NOT a 06 cam chest, it's an 02 but it indicates where clearance needs to be checked

oh ok. I was thinking I had to worry about valves and piston.
