Firewall Forward’s Centrilube cam now available for Lycoming engines

By General Aviation News Staff · January 5, 2007 ·

Firewall Forward Technologies’ Centrilube cam is now available for Lycoming 320, 360, and 540 engines. The cam can be purchased from Firewall Forward, or Firewall Forward can STC modify customers’ existing cams.

The Centrilube cam is the culmination of more than seven years of metallurgical research into the nature and causes of premature cam and lifter failures, Firewall Forward officials say. The cam distributes oil directly to the lifter face, utilizing holes strategically drilled in the cam lobes of a certified Lycoming cam. The modification utilizes a new or reground camshaft and introduces no additional moving parts.
