Default HO Cams

Anyone know the intake and exaust measurements for HO cams? And the rocker ratio for the 2000 dakota?

Moved you to your own thread, as the question was mostly off topic and in the wrong section. 2000 Dakotas are 2nd gen trucks, not 3rd gen.

well they got followers that go under the cam



although not in lift or duration. These are truck engines, after all: 0.443" lift on the intake, and 0.429" on the exhaust, duration is 244 degrees intake, 254 on the exhaust, partially compensating for the smallish exhaust valves. Overlap is only 18 degrees. This is an emissions, and torquer motor, remember. What makes the cams radical isn't the timing, but the construction. They are hollow steel tubes with the individual lobes, of powdered metal, sinter-bonded in place. In fact, the cams, being hollow, are used to bring oil to the intake lobes, which have oiling holes. Cam (valve) covers are cast magnesium.
