Default Question about Comp camshaft guys...
My friend ordered a cam from summit and I was looking at it and it has no threads where it bolts to the cam sprocket... Just 3 empty holes, im guess it needs to be threaded?

never seen a cam without the threaded holes. thats to hold the cam plate on it. theres no point in non threaded holes except for the dowel pin

Send it back bro, it should have been threaded at the factory.

You could give it to a machine shop to tap for you if your not bothered with returning it.

If we were in a hurry, I would have called Comp and bitched them into giving up a free cam for the hassle.
