Schrick cam upgrade for intake and exhaust on M42 engines in the E30 318i/318is and E36 318i/318is. Both cams are 256 degree with 10.4mm of valve lift. These will have slightly more power in the mid range with minimal loss of torque in the bottom end and no rough idle.

Camshaft tuning is all about optimizing air/fuel flow for your specific needs. The higher degree will open the valves sooner, deeper into the combustion chamber, and for longer time. Choosing the correct camshaft depends on the rest of your engine specs and goals. More aggressive cams should be paired with appropriate air and fuel upgrades to make full use of their operating specs.

Valve springs should be matched to the cam profile to ensure the spring does not reach full coil bind during the travel of the camshaft lobe. Schrick springs specifically engineered for the M42 are also available (click here for link).

All Schrick camshafts are made in Germany using wear-resistant chilled cast iron and machined with advanced CNC equipment. They have a one year warranty.

M42 cam specs:
Intake Lobe Duration: 256°
Exhaust Lobe Duration: 256°
Intake Valve Lift: 10.4mm
Exhaust Valve Lift: 10.4mm
Intake Valve Lift @ TDC: 1.2mm
Exhaust Valve Lift @ TDC: 1.2mm
Intake Valve Timing (IO-IC): 18-58
Exhaust Valve Timing (EO-EC): 58-18

Manufacturer's Notes:
1. While new springs may not be required, you must ensure the new valve lift does not fully compress the spring. It may be necessary to shim the spring's installed height.
2. Valve timing and valve opening durations are shown minus the ramps.
3. Valve timing is shown in °Crankshaft in relation to TDC.
4. All valve lift figures are shown without deduction of valve lash, i.e. the actual valve lift is the stated valve lift minus the valve lash. Hydraulic lifters have no lash so the valve lift is the actual valve lift.
