will do any good. At wide open throttle the cam wants to
push out the front of the engine. On any cam plate...If you
look at which side of the plate is worn...its the block
side....which means the cam is pushing out wards.
As far as dyno results on the bronze bushing....Have you
seen the results posted somewhere? I can give you a copy of
my results if you like!
Thanks for the interest...

Simms Performance Machining
I installed one of Scott's pieces on my 497. I thought it looked VERY nice and much more importantly so did my machinist who has built all brands from 4bangers to BIG HP blower and /or N2O engines.

Need to Contact Sims Performance for Roller Bearing Thrust Plate/Timing Chain Set
Can someone please help me get in touch with Sims Performance Machining? I've called the number (812-579-9815) posted in this forum and get "mailbox is not setup for voicemail" message. Sent message to email address (simsb52@qmix.net); it was returned non-deliverable. Thanks

Called and got the same message. That's funny I bought one from him a while ago ( 3-4 ) and was always able to contact him from that number.

I was finally able to get in touch with Scott using this email address: simsb53@gmail.com
He did give me his cell number, but I would have to check with him first about giving it out. |

Greetings all, I'm new here and deciding to put my High School car back on the street after som 30 years....marriage and kids.... some me time is necessary. Have collected some parts to do a build before I got married, JW Wheel, Fluid Damper balancer and the first set of Crower forged rods out of the door sold to the public...yes it was that long ago... I saw this sims product and was interested though not able to find any information... asking is anyone knows if they are still produced. Cam retainer and timing set. Thanks for any help
