2.2 peformance cam options???

TexasS10 · Mar 18, 2005

Good evening guys, I'm finally geting a chance to work on my '98 S10 truck... after it's been parked for a couple of years with a blown head gasket. I've got the head rebuilt and back from the shop....and I've decided to go ahead and snatch the motor out and replace all the bearings and rings. The main reason for the new rings is because the pistons had water on top of them for the duration......and I was just afraid that the rings might be a bit trashed. The cyl. walls look GREAT..... and I plan to just hone them a bit....and they will be fine.

My question is this.....the engine has over 100K miles...but will be fresh with the exception of the cam really. What kind of performance 2.2 cams are available??? What would I be looking to spend for cam and lifters???

I know I could obviously just cut to the chase and drop a V8 in the truck and call it done....... but I really want to keep the '98 truck a cruiser (slammed,system,exhaust,intake,etc.) ......and I've got an '84 GMC S15 Jimmy that I would rather V8....so I plan to keep the '98 a smooth driver.....with a few mods here and there.

If you guys have any advice for me then I'd really like to get some input. I'm just not real familiar with the availability of 2.2 internal parts and etc. .....I'm used to working on SBC's

THANKS, Brian TexasS10 sniperman76@hotmail.com

:haha:

Ok, so last night I checked out a couple of the recommended sites for Cava 2.2 cams.....but I guess I must be borderline retard

....because I didn't see individual cams anywhere on those sites.

Anyone have a direct link to the cams???

That's a link for the roller rockers......... I'm looking for a cam and lifter kit. Howell, doesn't list a cam and lifter kit...at least not that I see. I'm not in need of a complete rebuild kit.....because I have everything else here already....

Welcome to the wounderful world of "supply and demand".There are a million companies that have been around for almost 50+years making parts for american V8's.Unfortunatly not so for the "mighty" OHV 2.2

LOL, isn't that like an oxymoron??

I just figured that since there were so many of us S10 guys that surely someone who have a reasonably priced cam for this 2.2 ..... :rant: I mean, I'd hate to toss a stock cam back in it....now that I have it tore down this far......but hell, $300 bills? ACK! :haha:

lol i didn't know u could click the "here" I bet all it is a blank gm cam, with a custom grind to those specs, u might be able to get one cheaper and ground locally near u for cheaper, thats what i was reading on cavalierconnections. There where a few guys on there doing that.
