53 G3LS "H" Cams Info Pse

Post by peterg123 »

Happy New Year to all Matchless Folks from Nairobi, Kenya.

Kindly inform what would be the difference between say G3L cams used in WD Models and G3LS marked "H"? Does H stand for that they were to be used with higher compression post models ....??

Can WDG3 cams be used in a 53 LS?

Thanks

The H cams have a higher lift. The WD cams with a lower lift can be used on a later model. If the h cams are used on an earlier model check that there is enough clearance between tappet and guide for the higher lift.

Thanks clive..so they are a bit sportier and have a higher lift, hence H...... excellent.
