DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

The engine in my 79 SC has just had an overhaul at GCR which included the fitting of 964 cams (can’t wait to see what they do to it). I understand that the standard SC cams work well in certain earlier engines but cannot recall which, does anyone know?

Thank you

Ian

Turbos I think.

Thanks Jonny, for some reason I thought it was earlier engines ie one in the 2.0-2.7 range.

.

From the SC models onwards Porsche switched to 4-bearing cams - the earlier models had 3 bearings.

.

From memory you can run a four bearing cam in 3 bearing carriers, but the much shorter overlap on the SC cams may not suit the earlier engines.

HI

the SC cams will not fit a early engine, the bearings are to big for the cam carriers, whether it be 3 or 4 bearing up to 1974/75, even if you change the cam carriers, the valves will be to-long

Thank you for the comments/advice. I will ask on Impact Bumpers to understand any benefits of SC cams in a Turbo. Appreciate the responses
