CAM CHANGE
95 EVO
Choosing a cam that will work for you?
Performance Street, Touring or
just a little more mid range power.
Paul as chosen the Andrews EV-27.
For bolt-in power with a torque band from 2000 to 5500 RPM.
No head modifications with stock heads are required,
but you should always check your valve to piston clearance.
We removed the seat ,gas ,tank, top motor mount , carb & manifold.
We have chosen to replace some top end gaskets as well . Otherwise you
would not need to do these steps.Most shop would want to cut the
pushrods so as to make it easier without pulling the heads.And replace them
with adjustable pushrods . But since we are replacing the top end gaskets and
pulling the heads anyway .
