Hello,

I have a 1200 6 volts with a big bore kit (1385cc) and a shorrock supercharger.

2 years ago, my motor received a full restoration and the big bore kit

and this camshaft was installed:

Web CAM 86
.358/.358 270°/270° 234°/234°

However, my motor broke 1 month ago

and my mechanics is telling me that the camshaft is way too big for this engine


The recommendation I got so far is the Eagle cheater cam:
Eagle Racing Type 1 Camshaft, 2280 Grind (Cheater Cam), 1.1 or 1.25 Rockers, CB2280 has specs of .359" Cam Lift, .394" Valve Lift (1.1 Rockers), 274 degrees of advertised duration, and 222 degrees of duration at .050", on a 108 Lobe Center.

Is anyone has some advice about this cam or other proposal?

tx for any help
