Engle VZ-25 in WBX / Oxy boxer

Post by fastback »

I have a VZ-25 here that i'm considering to use in my oxyboxer with the appropiate bushings.
then i can use the stock rockers etc.
BUT som say due to the high lift/fast ramps that they are very harsh on the lifter bushings.
the WBX / Oxy case is aluminium and maybe stronger here than stock type 1?
i have som 31mm lifters to go with this cam and will use the dual wbx springs

any thoughts?

Run it.

The VZ series cams have been followed with caution by how they wear out the bores in magnesium Type 1 cases. With bronze bushings in the aluminum wasser/oxy case, I don't anticipate you encountering too much trouble.
