Poorly Cecil....
So, noticed another slight engine rattle from the front of my car the other week.
It's down at Munich Legends right now being fixed, the problem is my camshafts are worn and have play in them, which means new cam shafts, rockers and associated hardware and a head rebuild, really not good, but needs doing. I think this all stems from the work I had done 2 years ago on the vanos gears etc, where I am convinced whoever did the work didn't do it properly, but that doesn't really matter now as the problem is there and needs fixing. I know this is one of those topics where it can be hit and miss, but is it worth putting more aggressive high lift cam shafts in the car for that potential of a little bit of more power? Been doing a fair few track days recently, though I don't think anyone would have caught the wear and tear, it's one of those things I guess. What do you guys think? Shrick cams etc and associated bits to fit or stick with standard cams? Lets discuss Last edited by phoenixcsl; 18-02-2014 at 10:09 AM. |
