sealed power cam 1095r seems to be disappearing L46/82 cam

[Joe M.]

Ordered a cs 1095r cam from Summit in early Dec. 'ships from manufacturer'. several emails noting delay, today my order was cancelled. with no explanation.

Still listed in their catalog with a different price. doesn't ship until February.... ??

Rock auto notes the cam is not available

Available Carts: 2020-01-20 14:05:00

SEALED POWER Part # CS1095R is not currently available






Also some cams in a package labeled cs1095r also bears the number 1014. 1014 is the CA emissions cam version of what many label cs1095r. So when you order the 1095r make sure you are not getting the 1014/1095r cam. Just recently I see the 1014 cam listed as sealed power pro 2000 and 1095r listed as the speed pro 3000. look like all new packaging/marketing. So be careful, make sure which version cs1095r you are getting.

Just ordered from Jegs, let's see if I get it. NAPA had it listed for a much higher price and an out of stock note.

The L-46/L-82 camshaft, GM #3896962, is still available from GM. It's expensive at about 250 bucks GM list but it's the one I'd be using if I was needing this cam.

Joe I agree, there are lots of good GM parts left NOS, new as you mentioned, ebay, and or in your stash . why go for aftermarket China cams is beyond comprehension.

I doubt if it's manufactured in China, but it might be made in Mexico. In the past, before their bankruptcy, Crane supplied this cam to GM. I don't know if they sill supply GM, but if you can't find a CS-1095R, contact Crane.

GM still manufactures Gen I small blocks and many components thereof in Mexico (Toluca Engine Plant). So, it's quite possible that the cam is manufactured in Mexico. The other possibility is the Bay Cities engine components plant in Bay City, MI. It would be interesting to see a currently available 3896962 in its GM package (original 3896962 for PRODUCTION or SERVICE were manufactured at Flint). Regardless of where manufactured, I would still prefer a GM cam to any other (assuming I were going to use a flat tappet cam which I would not).

Re: sealed power cam 1095r seems to be disappearing L46/82 cam

Back when OE cams were current production, all had specific blanks to minimize grinding to achieve the final profile and had the finished camshaft number like 3896964 for the L-46/82 cam molded into the casting. The part number for the cam/pin assembly, 3896962 is what was sold OTC.

From past research it's my understanding that there is only one blank for both mechanical and hydraulic lifter flat tappet cams currently available, and it is manufactured by the CWC division of Textron. So ALL small block cam designs- and there are dozens on the market - start out with this blank, and that would be the case for the current ...962 cam sold by GM.

This blank is supplied with all machining accomplished except the lobes, so it's a matter of the blank having the proper hardness characteristics and the grinder having accurate lobe masters and grinding machines. Also, Parkerizing, which aids break-in was OE and I believe vintage cams sold by GM are Parkerized and Crane Parkerizes their cams, but that's not the case with most aftermarket cam manufacturers.

If you can't find a FM or GM version, try Crane.

Basic specs for this cam are (.050" lifter rise duration) 224/224/114/114/114/.30000/.30667"lobe lift.

If it's not part of their standard product line they can grind it on a custom basis assuming they have the lobe masters, which I believe they do because my understanding is that Crane supplied this cam to GMPP before the Crane bankruptcy about ten years ago.

It must have been very recently discontinued.

Re: sealed power cam 1095r seems to be disappearing L46/82 cam

I called Pace and they had it listed. Expect delays due to GM strike backlog. Called a local chev dealer who said he could have it in a week, so I gave them a try. If that leads to another dead end I'll call Crane. Tried to find an equivalent I their PDF but not sure which was the 962 cam. Will cal Crane if chev dealer falls through.
Seem to be chasing wild geese putting an old motor together. the times, they have changed!

Thanks for your response!

If you continue to hit dead ends, I think Melling makes a factory equivalent cam...Melling #22210

From their catalog:
OEM #3896962. CLASS II. NOT CALIFORNIA COMPLIANT. NOT COMPUTER COMPATIBLE.POWER RANGE 2200-5800 #22210
224 224
291 287
.450 .460
114 114 114

Melling is arguably known more for their quality Oil Pumps, but I had one of Melling's L79 cams in my Chevelle for many years with no problems. But that was years ago too, and things have changed a bit since then.
