It occured to me that one of the reasons we may not be able to smooth out the idle may be because there is an aftermarket cam in the engine. After all, we keep finding these bolt on performance parts on my engine, and nobody seems to know exactly what the engine has in it. > > Any ideas short of cracking the case? If you are able to, you could probably measure the lift? Then you will quickly see whether this is an aftermarket cam or not, when you compare the figures with the stock figures. Try to remove the rockers and measure how much the push rods move in and out. PerL 73 Variant L ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
