In Reply to: compression test, cam question posted by Charlie on August 03, 2001 at 14:10:00:

I have a Schrick 284 in my 3.3L which runs great. Its not all that "cammy" and probably considered just one step up from stock.

Frequent board contributor "Bob" rebuilt his engine with a Euro spec cam (I think) and was very happy with it. Perhaps he will write in with comments as well.

Regards,

Tod Bryant
1970 2800CS w 3.3L and Shrick 284!


My dry, cold compression test results are 140, 148, 137, 153, 148, 148.

Per the blue book, less than 142 psi is poor, so cylinders 1 and three are poor, the rest are normal (142 to 156 psi).

Since my coolant is foamy, I'm pretty much committed to doing a top end overhaul. I think the cam is good, although I haven't checked lately, while it's out, is there/what are the suggestions for sportier cam I could put in? I'm not a haul-ass driver, so I don't want a big lumpy stick that'll only be happy at top end.

TIA, Charlie
Charlie
