Default 55mm cam core?

Who makes a 55mm cam core? Anyone know the price difference between the 50mm core and the 55mm core?

Bigger cam bore allows for a larger lobe without turning down the base circle. Therefore you get a higher lift cam (tappet lift) along with a strong core.

Unfortunately, the needle bearing manufacturers don't. The precision quality needle bearings are only available in metric.

Yeah, I know, but I still complain anyway. It's a civic duty to support America first with me. Maybe if other people would join in, we could get things fixed on what way to measure here!

We recently recieved a 50mmm cam from Bullet for John's revamped IA2 combo. About $550. Delivery was longer than anticipated, so don't be in a hurry.

yep mixing and matching metric and SAE.Liek working on my 81 TA you never know which it is!

Most of the vet articles or from the US yet all dosages are listed in pets weighing in KG(or m2 body surface area for chemop drugs). I don't have a single owner who wants to know what their dog weighs in KGs!
