Dear H Dave
Like you, I LOVE JB Weld! It is like a magical elixir, sent from the heavens, that can fix anything that duct tape cannot! (Trinik, please do not confuse duct tape with "duck" tape, Very different uses for both!) I like to pack the fins around the cylinder with JB Weld as the fins seem to be the weakest part of the clone engines. Talk about a rigid cylinder (not to be confused with Triniks fantasy strip club)
...gotta go, lost my hammer and cannot afford to lose 33.33333% of my tools!

Don't use it all, because it works well in the exhaust ports if you're building massive power for those sweet drag races.
Trinik could use some as well, as the top of jug to correct any "in the hole" discrepancies. If it holds up to exhaust gases, you know it'll hold up a torqued head. (Hemi is better?)
We use duck tape to hold the turkey legs together. I think we'll try it next for Christmas' Cornish Game Hens, but maybe in narrower strips.

My apologies
Not trying to be rude, just realistic! I can tell by the nature if your questions that you have limited experience with any engine. Rather than have you make a mess, I suggested you look ar some videos and get educated on the terms. When you shit ne dow, I figured you had a clue. Your additional questions confirmed my suspicions
Good luck with your build! Post up a pic of what you are working on. Someone else here can help you I'm sure

X2!
common mistake when ordering a cam is that most people thing that the biggest is the best. What you need to do is match all your parts. A big cam with low compression will be a dog. A big cam and big carb with low compression will be a big disappointment! Unless you are under 90lbs, you need the low end to get you moving. You can also do that through gearing, but then to get up to speed you will have to scream the engine all the time. I bought the Dyno CS1 cam and I am happy with it. It was cheap and gets my 250lbs rolling.
Example. Put 3.73 gears in my '69 Camaro. Could chirp the tires when shifting from 1-2, and 2-3. Outta the hole it was a monster! Unfortunately, to keep up with traffic in SoCal I was turning 3800RPM's to go 75MPH. The 4 speed trans has my now at 2600RPM at 80MPH! Now I can hear the stereo!
Define your goals, let us know what bike this is going on, and set a budget.

Isky mamba Jr is a good all around cam . 26# springs I stay away from the 18# due to coil bind . the gearing is what has you poping wheelies stock gearing is very tall on the stock db a sprocket adapter and splits would allow you to mess with that .but carplaylb is right you should really plan out what you want to accomplish with your motor before ordering anything . money might be better spent on a rod and flywheel . put some 1.3 ratio rockers in and better springs and forget the cam . really depends what you are trying to do
My thoughts are, never go faster than your brakes can stop you! You will have more fun with a low-mid range cam than you will with a high RPM screamer! Everything is a sacrifice. The high RPM cams have limited low end power. Go more conservative and you will be happier! It will be easier on your clutch too!
Going fast is like wiping your ass with a wagon wheel, it never ends! A new cam means, a carb re-jet, which means a header, which means a billet rod and flywheel, which means ya gotta have better brakes, and on...and on!

If you're wanting a cheaper cam and a mild build then I would recommend a 265 cam with 1.2 rockers. 18lb or 22lb springs, not sure if the 18 will hit coil bind. Either way this is a great combo for an engine with a stock carb and stock valves. Pretty decent power all around and won't break the bank.
