sensormatic 0 #1 Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) I know people upgrade the 18 hp cam in their 10 hp engine for more power... but will it also work in the 8 hp block... I'm trying to get away from regrinding the cam.... if a stock larger HP cam will work instead... Edited September 30, 2020 by sensormatic Hmm.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldredrider 2,547 #2 Posted September 28, 2020 No it won't work. Totally different cam layout. Gonna have to weld and grind. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 63,079 #3 Posted September 28, 2020 I'm going to say no. The eight horse is a small block and the 10 through 18 are the big block single bores. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,050 #4 Posted September 28, 2020 sensormatic , if you are going to get into a rebuild and upgrade , don,t forget to add RISLONE , ZINC to your oil https://www.amazon.com/Rislone-4405-Supplement-Concentrate-Treatment/dp/B0075559UY it will really help out your cam life and improve your performance . old design flat tappet cams need this additive , for a smoother long life. buy the way a kohler magnum 12 -14 hp , will give you the power to do what ever you want ,with that tractor size. good luck with it , pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
