Here are some more information for Hydraulic Lifters Camshaft:

Identifying a car can be a difficult task, and an L88 Corvette is no accept ion, the very first thing you have to look at, is the price of the car. In this day and age an L88 Corvette can easily run 100,000 dollars or more, and if you've located an Corvette for sale and the person selling the car is representing it as an L88, and the price is low "BEWARE" of a scam right up front, these are very rare and hard to find cars, and even a wrecked one can run 30,000 dollars or more.

Now down to the brass tacks, the first thing that I would look at is the engine codes, such as the RPO code and casting numbers to make sure that the engine is an L88, there are however some tell tail signs, keep in mind that not every L88 had the 3X2 carburetor option installed on it, this was an add on known as the L71 tri-power option, now an L88 is a 427 CID engine, that normally came with a single Holley 850 double pumper carburetor, so just because you don't see a tri-power set-up on the car does not mean that it's not an L88 427 car.

A true L88 Corvette is a rare find, so you can feel lucky if you happen to find one, also available was the L89 aluminum head option, that would shave 75 pounds of the front end weight of the car, if your lucky enough that the car that you plan to buy has a build sheet with it, you can know exactly what the car came with from the factory, but again this is a rare find in the classic car world.

On the engine the RPO code is located on a machined pad in front of the passenger side head, the RPO will tell you what year the engine was built, what engine it is, and usually what transmission was attached to the engine, it will also reveal what manufacturing plant built the engine, the casting number will also tell you what year the engine is, how many main caps it has and the horsepower of the engine, with the pro code you need to look closely because people have been known to machine and re-stamp these numbers, if the RPO code does not match the casting number in any way, be very leery of the deal that your about to make, ask a lot of questions.

When deciphering the RPO code on the front of the engine it helps to know how to read the stampings this is a typical reading for a 1957 - 69 RPO code.

1) The first digit represents the plant that the engine was built at

2) The next two digits represent the month that the engine was built

3) The next two represent the day that the engine was built

4) The last two are the suffix code

The suffix code is what will tell you what engine is in the car, and what options it has, below you'll find a list of the codes for the 427 Engine.

Volkswagens 1.5 Liter I5 Engine For The 2010 Volkswagen New Beetle

Volkswagen's New Beetle for 2010 powers a six speed Tiptronic automatic or manual transmission with a 150 horsepower engine. Both the coupe and the convertible versions of the Beetle are equipped with this 2.5 liter, five cylinder inline engine. This engine has an 82.5 mm bore and a 92.8 mph stroke and a 9.5 to 1 compression ratio. The maximum horsepower are delivered at 5,000 rpm and the maximum torque (170 foot pounds) is realized at 3,750 rpm. The Motonic sequential multi point fuel injection helps the car achieve maximum performance and fuel economy.

The New Beetle's transverse-mounted engine is fabricated with a cast iron block and a steel, 6 bearing camshaft. The cylinder head is aluminum. Each cylinder has four valves with hydraulic lifters. This is a water cooled engine that has an electric PWM controlled radiator fan. The digitally controlled electronic ignition has two knock sensors to improve power.

Equipped with the manual transmission, the engine accelerates the car from 0 mph to 60 mph in 8.4 seconds. With the automatic, the 0 60 time is 8.4 seconds. The vehicle's top speed is an electronically limited 125 mph with either transmission. Running on regular unleaded gasoline, the fuel consumption of the New Beetle is 20 mph city and 28 mpg highway with the manual transmission and 20 mph city and 29 mph highway with the automatic.

The Volkswagen New Beetle has achieved an ultra low emission vehicle (ULEV II) rating, meaning that its advanced vapor recovery and evaporation systems are gentle to the environment, comforting environmentally conscious drivers.  All of these combined features make this a truly environmentally friendly car.

camshaft part# 115806 & 241473?

I have purchased this new camshaft at a auction in a unmarked box, the above part numbers are stamped on the end with a white dot.. The box has written on it that it is supposed to be for a Chevy 350 and is for hydraulic lifters. It also has written on the box that it has: duration @ 50 222/222, valve lift 447/447 and a center line of 114...Does anybody have any idea who manufactured this cam? Would anybody know the idle characteristics and the RPM range of this cam? What would this camshaft primarily be used for?
Thanks, any help would be appreciated!!!

crane and comp both make a cam that have the same specs. CRN-967601 is the crane part number.
CCA-12-106-3 is the comp number.
Go to the web site http://store.summitracing.com/ and enter the part numbers and they will tell you about the cams.
