Posted May 23, 200519 yr Right just for Aaron.............lol........... New ARP bolts fitted close up.... What no head.... Trial dry fit MMM, that's nice. Overhead. As some of you might notice the alloy verniers are not on...........That's cos I have fitted the old cams first so I can get it running, I can't afford to fit the new cams then not get it started first turn as the cams have to be 'run in' at 2500 RPM for 20 mins or they will be shafted........... , So I will get it running then fit the new cams and verniers........
May 23, 200519 yr Looks good mate, should be a rapid machine! Do you know why the cams have to be run @ 2500rpm to break in?
May 23, 200519 yr Author Any slower would wear the cam lobes and followers away in no time m8, that's why the engine has to start first click, then straight to 2500 RPM.
May 23, 200519 yr it that just for the new cams??? think i ran mine for 15mins at 2k revs how do u know if you have worn away the cam lobes and followers??? got me worried now lol
