Why? (Cam thread)
Why can't you run stock springs and rockers with this cam?

My buddy had one of these laying on the shelf, so I slipped it into an old block to check it out. I held the pushrods and spun them while tightening the rockers down and the pushrods don't spin once tightened. I don't see why this cam would require screw in studs and double sprung springs like they say.

Less lift and duration than many stock Olds cams. Olds valvetrain will work just fine.
