Re: k-grind 1800 72

I'd guess—and it really IS a guess—that "K" is a Volvo designation (as with the "R" cam, the "A" cam, and so on). IPD's close approximation (which until recently I thought was identical) was their "71" or "7001" cam.

They were close enough that most people would consider them the same, but they had very slight differences in lift, duration, overlap, or whatever. I used a "K" cam in a modified B20F in my '75 245. The car felt like it had a good solid 6-cylinder engine.
