Description

Our chilled iron camshaft follower sets are used with great success in road engines around the world, matched to within a gram. They feature the correct base radius design to allow rotation in use.

They can be used in competition engines too, although we would recommend upgrading to the drilled Race follower set where the budget allows, for weight saving and improved lubrication.

Our high quality steel pushrods are another popular upgrade to consider.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these cam followers suit all A-Series engines?

Yes, although we would recommend upgrading to the race alternative if you plan to build a high RPM more competition-orientated engine, as these are lighter, and have oil lubrication holes.

My block has worn cam follower bores - do you keep over-size followers?

Unfortunately not, no. It might be worth looking for an alternative engine block, as this is likely to cause problems with the followers tipping in the bores and potentially even jamming up.

Can I use these with all A-Series camshafts?

Yes, these are suitable for all camshafts, from standard spec to race, although as above we would suggest the race version for competition use. You must always install new followers when changing the camshaft.

Is there a specific camshaft bedding-in procedure?

Engine builders and tuners will often have their own preference on bedding-in techniques. We would suggest to use 20W50 running-in oil, do not let the engine drop below 2500rpm for 30 minutes on the initial run, and vary the RPM up and down. If the car cannot be driven, keep an eye on the temperature gauge and pause the procedure as necessary. Now complete a couple of hundred miles of gentle driving before refreshing the oil and visiting a rolling road for a full tune-up.

Is there anything else to note during the engine build?

We'd suggest using a high quality engine assembly lube on the cam followers to cam, a sticky red oil that's specifically formulated to protect against corrosion. This is especially important where the engine is not due to be run straight away after completing the rebuild.
