talkin to a tech today in general about compression and easy cam come up in the convo

how do you test for engine compression with easy cam (is it possible)

or do you wait for the smoke to come out of your pipes then knowin its time for oh you guess

myself i don't know the answer anyone got some idea

Ozroder, the EZ start cams decompression trigger will not retract until the engine is turning around 750 - 800 rpm's-- as in an engine start event. The exhaust valve lifts 0.030 when the lifter rolls over the decompression trigger built into the cam in order to bleed off a little compression, so I don't think they will ever build full compression unless the motor is running and the decompression trigger has retracted. This 'technology' has been around for a long time and used successfully but I don't think it's possible to do a comp test with them, but I hope I'm wrong....

I'm running a pair of 551 EZ starts in my 09 96" BargeGlide and they feel good. The start is very EZ-- no kickback, strain on the starter or compensator at all and plenty of roll on power. Not the 'best' cams out there but I'm happy with them.

thanks blokes little more insight on ez cams

will be havin a set of 583 installed in about 2 weeks time

will let you the out come

 

got a feeling that Lofty used the easy start cams when he did his upgrade before selling his RK.... perhaps ask him
