Re: L78 motor cam opinion's
I would advise *against* the Comp L78 blueprint cam...the Crane/GM unit is the one you want...trust me, all of us in Pure Stock have been there, done that...you need to sit down with all of your engine specs and figure out your true compression, and that will tell you where you centerline at.

Re: L78 motor cam opinion's
If you,ve got new heads..it's good insurance to put NEW springs and keepers on now. Almost lost my engine last year when an exhaust spring broke. I was lucky it didn't drop down.

Re: L78 motor cam opinion's
It is Zinc. I have a solid cam from Bullet in my L78 and they sugested I use Brad Penn oil in my motor because it has the Zinc still in it. Its a Green oil same as the old Kendall oils. Here is the link

Re: L78 motor cam opinion's
Rob & Marlin why is the Crane Cam better than the Competition L78 Grind?? Have you guys had negative experiences with Comp. Cams??

Re: L78 motor cam opinion's
I have not had a Comp Cam go bad on me, but simply like the Crane better because they are blueprint versions of the originals.
