Does a 390gx cam fit in a 212cc clone? For the moment I have a nylon cam, and since I'm modding my motor to stage 3, I need to replace it because I read an article that said the nylon cam could melt. So now I need to know if it can fit. Here's the one I wanna order:

No!
Why would you want to try a cam made for a different engine when there are a million made for the engine you have?
a $25 cam from scamazon is asking for trouble.

Yeah so the reason I was asking for this cam is:
1.this delivers tomorrow, a relative of mine is in Germany right now and he goes home at Friday.
2.there's no other option except one where the delivery is way too late (11, 12 March)
Anyways, thank you so much.

I want to verify another thing: would the stock nylon cam survive over 6500rpm?
You will want a steel cam with heavier valve spring installed in the engine.

Regardless, the motor won't be making much power at 6500rpm with a stock camshaft,
so it may never see it depending on vehicle/ gear ratio

So, I already put 22lbs valve springs, and now I'mma try to find a solution on how to order one. Just so y'all know I live in a country where there's literally no place where you could buy these sorts of parts and you can't order something from another country because you need to pay triple the price for certification if they even let it slide 😭

So in the first post you were ready to order a $25 scamazon cam.
if ya can order from them why can't ya order from one of the kart supply houses?
The thing is, I don't even know if there's any in Germany, even if I found a place it's too late now because my relative checks out tomorrow.
