RE: dohc cams by comp camps

What did you have them look up? I bet they looked up the 3.4L iron head pushrod engine, not the DOHC.

Your link really doesn't work, but I did look up a Lumina Z34. It lists all the cams for the 60V6 engine, of which none are for the DOHC. You can tell by a couple of means... First, almost all of them have lifts >0.4", and if I'm not mistaken, the DOHC's max lift is ~0.38"? Second, wouldn't you think if they were for the DOHC, they would list intake and exhaust cams?

Go to the Crane or Comp website and look up the PNs given and see what engine they spec it for... It may say 3.4, but it doesn't say DOHC.

Yeah, crane and comp don't do OHC cams. Ive asked, they don't care about our engines. They can't even do a regrind.

The last time I talked to them they said they currenty didn't have the right equipment.

I haven't contacted beckracing about cams as of yet, they might have insight.

The site in topic of this thread doesn't even car about the 3.5L DOHC 24L shortstar that olds used.

Here is evidence:

Their database is stupid but anyway I looked up for a 96 Monte 3.4L DOHC and it had nothing.

has anyone tried contacting one of the companies that does import cams?
