284/272-deg Camshaft Kit

The Schrick 284/272-degree performance camshaft is engineered for BMW M20 engines, specifically targeting enhanced mid-range torque and top-end power. With an intake lobe duration of 284° and exhaust lobe duration of 272°, coupled with valve lifts of 11.4mm (intake) and 11.0mm (exhaust), this camshaft optimizes air and fuel flow for improved performance. Constructed from durable, wear-resistant chilled cast iron, this camshaft is manufactured in Germany using advanced CNC equipment. The specified valve timing (IO-IC-EO-EC) is 32-72 66-26, with intake valve clearance set at 0.25mm (0.0098") and exhaust valve clearance also at 0.25mm (0.0098"). This camshaft is designed as a direct-fit upgrade for models like the E30 325i and E34 525i. While it may not require special hardware or valve springs, it is recommended to use new valve springs to ensure proper operation and prevent over-compression. It's important to note that the installation of more aggressive camshafts may necessitate corresponding air and fuel system upgrades to fully realize their performance potential. This product is intended for racing, competition, track, or off-road use only and may not be street legal in all regions due to emissions regulations.
