Cam's ....

[MK II Mark]

I have a Kent FR 32 in mine, but I don't have anything to compare it against, she goes alright though

[dragaddict]

the came without a good setting is nothing,even if you say what your cam is it depends the mods how the engine comes out. its not that bad saying what yuor cam is

[Mk2Jo]

I'm just interested to see why people prefer one make to another

[H.P.E harry]

that a bit of a personal question isnt it jo

If I'd asked you how big your balls are mate .. that would have been personal

 

So ... is it Kent, Pipercross or other for you then If you would prefer not to say then that is fine

Will be using a kent A2 cam which is a copy of the old cosworth A2 cam to the best of my knowlage . I missed a holbay R120 x flow cam on fleebay a week or 2 ago which i would liked to have.

 

I inherited a pre-crossflow with an A2 in it years ago, it had a BVH and was ok!

 

I built a crossflow with STD valves home ported mainly around the seats and 1300 pistons in a 1660cc and it was impressive!!

 

My point is that cams for the road have improved over the years and therefore I would recommend a 234 over an A2.

 

I run a steel Kent cam in my pre-crossflow for durability (as recommended by Aaron @ HT Racing) because it's a few up on a 234 and the rapid valve lifts of modern cams put a lot of pressure on the lobes / followers.

 

As a side issue I used to run GTX magnatec and did cam lobes on two different cams (254's). I then went to a steel cam and Valvoline 20-50 and the problem seems to have gone away - oh famous last words!

[LEONMEX]

When i had my head done the engineer had a Crane cam which i tried,but it was to lairy for the road,so fitted a fr33 kent & did'nt run it in properly & it wore two of the lobes flat in 50miles ,so now have a kent HT1 that has proved to be a really good cam for the spec of my engine

[BIG G]
