Q/on Cams and Head rebuild - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So I am looking at a cam from PDM the C404.H [Strong performer, with good midrange pull to redline. O.K. with automatics. Our strongest seller with the most smiles! {Intake 268 degrees duration, .441 valve list, Exhaust 272 degrees duration, .447 valve lift.} (note requires cam towers to be milled .030")], has anyone done business with PDM?

Has anyone done a cam job?
What do you suggest for the cam? I want to go NA with my 1990 Nissan 240sx se.

I want to rebuild to rebuild the head at this time. What would I need? Head set for gaskets, head bolts where would I get this??? How much should I expect to spend on the Head set gaskets?

just go with jwt cams..... no milling or any of that sh!t. That duration is too much. you will lose tons of torque, but you will pick up a lot on top end.Ferrea makes some valve train components for the KA. 264 all the way around is the best....
