12v, 24v, CR cams

Are these cams the same. I need to put one in a 12 valve and was thinking of putting a helix in mine and my old one in the 12v. I was told the helix would work in any of them.

Well I know a Helix 2 will work in a 24V and a CR, nice thing about diesel... but I doubt it would work in a 12V... but I don't know for sure.. Do the 24V and CR motors use one pushrod per side per cylinder? (i.e. one rocker with a bridge)?

Ya one rocker per two springs. I was told by a helix2 dealer that it will work in all of them but just making sure a CR cam will work in a 12v.

yeah a OE CR cam wouldn't be good but an aftermarket one would be fine..


I can't wait to see the results from the swap. How long did it take?
