Cam Swap Pointy?
 

We've all heard about the curvy cam swap, I've even done it. But what about a cam swap for the pointy?

I've heard about it before but weecorey's for sale add reminded me, whats the deal? Apparently its put the curvy intakes into the pointy exhaust. But what about getting the timing right which marks do you use, anybody got a good picture like the one used for the curvy? What are the power gains etc?

Just interested really as I think I have a couple of curvy cams that aren't doing much and I know of a pointy engine that I'd like to mess with...

It is exactly same as on curvy except you don't touch intake cams.

Is there any benefit though?

Re: Cam Swap Pointy
 

Not as much as on curvy.

Re: Cam Swap Pointy
 

So you use the same picture to get the timing marks set up correctly?

You using same cams in same places on both bikes so marks are same.

Ha haaa, it's funny because I know who owns the guinea pig bike....

Re: Cam Swap Pointy
 

So do I .... And that's why it's not funny :(

Does anyone know if there is any benefit of doing this?

Seems like it would make good sense for pointy owners all over the land to be swapping cams with their curvy cousins if there was.

If there is any benefit at all, I'd have a set available to swap with a curvy owner.
