Post by: DKK Ted on August 16, 2010, 22:48:02 pm
 A shot in the dark. Does anybody have an old cam card for the original Engle K-8? I believe the adv. dur. is 304* back then. Want the original spec's. Thanks guy's!

So the specs changed?

I guess I just learned something new.

I believe the "old FK8" was the same as the Berg GB310 cam:  304 degrees (advertised), 0.380" lift at cam.

This is correct, but I believe I made a mistake, the original one is a K-8, the newer virsion is the FK-8 that has been around for a few years now. I have FK-8 cam. I was corrected on the other forum.  ::)  ;D The older version has a 304* duration (advertised).

I called Chris at Engle today and he said that it's always was the same grind. But I remember way back when, seeing the add's for the K-8 @ 304* Dur. Need to dig up my old HotVW's to see the adds. He did say what matters is what it is @ .050, which I do understand, but why 304* then, now 298*? That is a big difference. Jim, maybe you have some info on this?

check Gene Berg's cams. they have engle cams as well and one of them is probally the K8, GB310 so it should be available from them. i know that the light blue berglar had one of those...
