R16 Cam Cores?

Post by Daryl Smith »

So....Good R16 cams are getting harder to find....What are the options?

H20 cams are a bolt in, but need to be reground for performance - only forklifts in North America...
H20-II ... Are the cams the same as the H20?
K21 ... looks like an evolution of the H engine...Cams interchangeable? (probably not, but.....)

Considering the H20 was made up till at least 1996, and in a number of industrial applications....is it possible that a cam 'blank' could be obtained?

Where/how do you find this info??........ :smt017
Yes, I know the cams can be built up with welding/regrinding.....

You U20 guys have no options.....but, there might be for the R16/H20...

Actually, you might call the guys at Delta cam in Tacoma and ask them what options there may be and how to find blanks. They were super helpful last time I was there... 253 383-4152.

Darryl:

here are some cores that are 30 minutes away in Surrey. They are not all R16, but there are SAE and metric.
