Hi all

Any recomendations for a fast road cam?

Peter lloyd are doing Kent cam kits for £199, is this a good price?

Hello
we used the fr32 kent cam which is nice and driveable that is a good price, i think we bought our kit from them also, we where also advised to use a steel pulley as they last longer

I've got a fast road cam in a ported head if you are interested. I've just got the car SVA'd but I've got a problem with over pressure in the crank case so am getting rid of the whole lot and going for a different power plant.

If you are not in a rush this could be a great bargain for you.

I do need to leave it in the car for the moment until registered.

Let me know if you are interested.
BTW it's a Kent FR33

Yes it's still in the car. Ian, and Ady like I say you will have to wait for the registration to go through.. might be a couple of weeks.

Ian sorry I deleted your U2U message so couldn't reply, the valves are not hardened for unleaded, and had some evidence of undeaded running which took me ages to get rid of grinding them in again.

However I did get a great book which can be yours with the purchase of the head which is how to power tune the SOHC pinto engine by "whoever I can't remember" but it was this book that I followed when porting the head with "die grinder" in hand.

Got to be worth a "ton" for a bolt on 20 or so HP????

Let me know guys.

Des Hammill wrote the above Speedpro published book. David Vizard also wrote a good Pinto tuning book.
