camshaft school

Engine Builder Magazine has been running a series of articles about camshaft design and choice. They're pretty good articles and I'll be posting links to the articles as they become available.

Good stuff for people wanting to learn about choosing the right cam and why.. Also, the different kinds of valvetrains and the advantages/ disadvantages of each..

On a slightly side note, there is a long, detailed, but not tedious series on YouTube called "pete's garage" (no relation, I assure you) that goes through an engine build in great detail, over many hours of videos. But they are logically chaptered. And there is a very good camshaft chapter in the series. The videos are well produced and provide an enormous amount of useful information and illustrate techniques.
