WTB OS Cam shaft

Post by dave ramsey »

My 1946 85 hp C120 needed a rebuild after the starter sent metal pieces into the crankcase. My mechanic sent everything off for rebuild, Cylinders, Case, Cam etc I have the rebuilt cylinders back but the shop where we sent the case tells us the case has been over-bored to the max and now we need a 20 oversize cam. He has been searching for one but no luck. If any member has one or knows where one is please let me know.
Thanks very much and Merry Christmas,
Dave Ramsey

Randy rebuilds small bore Continental engines, and may have the camshaft you are looking for.

Following this....

I am aware of ..020 undersize crankshafts with .020 oversize main bearings, but never heard of an oversize camshaft

I see the parts manual shows oversize cams, just never saw or heard of one. This oughta be a good education for me

I found that I have three .020 oversized camshafts for O-200’s. Still looking for a C-85 one.
