I ran across this BB Crower solid cam and am just wondering how extreme it is with respect to lasting in a street motor??

PN 01350, (268FDP)
Spec's are:
268I/240I//274E/246E, 110/106, gross .563"I (intake lash should be .026" hot), gross.568"E (exhaust lash should be .028" hot).

Will it eat up the valve train in a street motor or will it be OK??

pdq67,

It will depend upon where the 268/274 is actually measured. If it is at .020", then the cam has 28° 'intensity', and is very 'intense' for a .026" valve lash. If the cam is actally being measured at a higher ramp point, for advertising purposes, then, who knows?
For 23 years I have rated all my solid lifter cams at .020" and .050", as this gives a consistent measure of intensity. I may change, and if so, it's just for advertising purposes. It makes no difference, the engine doesn't understand 'advertising' numbers, but interpets opening and closing points, as well as the overall shape of the valve lift curve.
As a point of interest, my 276/284 and 288/296 solids have a 33° intensity, my 'Super-NFs' are at 29°. It is extremely difficult to get a true 28° intensity in a solid lifter cam.

Thanks Harold.

I figure it would be extremely hard on the valvetrain, is that your thoughts too?
