I just pulled a Hughes Engine cam out of my 451 stroker. One of the exhaust lobes was worn off and the matching lifter bottom was beat out pretty bad. The engine has about 6k miles on a complete rebuild. Does anyone know if this is typical of Hughes brand components or are their parts normally of a good quality? I understand I may have some other issue or I just got the bad cam/lifter of the bunch. Any recommendations on other cam brands? I really liked the way this cam performed, and want to stay in the general area for lift/duration. HEH 2832 Specs: I .524 E .540 LSA 110 Duration @50 I 228 E 232
Any help or comments are appreciated.
400 block, 440 forged crank, Edel. Heads, 6 pak setup, elec ign, hughes brand lifter, good oil pressure, used but well with in specs rocker arms and shafts. Oh, running 3:23 gears with 3:55 or 3:91's available to match the cam.
