To this date, no reliable contemporary source has conclusively proven the Hash engines actually had a steel camshaft. To use a steel camshaft would have required chilled iron lifters and distributor drive gear, thus three different part numbers.

Interestingly, the three details of Hash which were observably different, the oil pan, oil pump and fuel pump, were not mentioned in the Hot Rod Magazine article by Racer Brown.
