I am seeking list advice. I have a running stock engine that I am going to
pull this weekend to replace the clutch. No big deal, been there, done
that. I also have another engine that is toast (collapsed 1380 pistons
chewed up cylinder walls, no more metal to remove) that has a nice cam in
it. I am not a machinist. If the cam looks good (no visual scaring) can I
put it in my other engine, or do I have to swap bearings, lifters, line bore
or anything else. Any other tips? By looking at a cam, what do you need to
do to measure it's specs? I was told this cam is a "Cooper S spec" but don't
know what that spec is. I just know the last two engines this cam was in
pulled a lot higher into the RPM band than what this stock engine does.
