272/256 Camshaft Set

The Schrick 272/256 Camshaft Set is engineered to optimize airflow for performance applications in BMW M54 engines. With an aggressive profile, this set is intended for modified engines seeking enhanced power in the mid to upper RPM range. The specifications include an intake lobe duration of 272° and an exhaust lobe duration of 256°, coupled with an intake valve lift of 10.9mm and an exhaust valve lift of 10.4mm. It is critical to verify valve piston clearance and valve spring length due to the increased lift. While additional hardware may not be strictly required, upgrading to new spring retainers and keepers is recommended for engines with high mileage. The manufacturer notes that valve timing and durations are shown without ramp deduction and are measured in crankshaft degrees relative to Top Dead Center (TDC). All valve lift figures are without deduction of valve lash; for hydraulic lifters, the stated valve lift is the actual valve lift.
