Common upgrades include valve springs, camshafts, valve guides, larger valves, etc. Depending on what components you go with for your build and your desired power goals or build requirements, different machine work will be performed including valve job, cutting valve seats for a larger valved motor, port and polish to enlarge intake and exhaust ports. You may find that the direction that you take with the cylinder head build will play a role in supporting mods as well included oil pump, cam gears, pistons, head studs and gaskets. Raw Brokerage is here to guide you through what might be seemingly huge task to get you the correct parts for the build you want!
RB26 Camshafts
Step 1: Verify your cam angle sensor.Check to see which cam angle sensor (CAS) you have on your engine to narrow down compatible camshafts. The main difference is the camshaft drive design as seen in the illustrated comparison. Raw Brokerage classifies these into two types:
Type-1 sensors are full aluminum in construction. The cam drive has a female spline drive with a male half moon.
Type-2 sensors are a combination of both aluminum body and a plastic cover. The cam drive is round with an offset slot though the middle.
