Re: [T3] Engine machining.....


<x-charset iso-8859-1>Hello-

Re: cams... I strongly recommend against reusing your old camshaft.  It's
very likely worn, especially if your lifters have gone concave!  Go Webcam
or go bust... they are far and way the best cam manufacturer out there.
Engle is horrible... anything that needs to be jigged up for pre-breaking in
and still fails is a bad product.  Webcam is definately superior... I don't
know of someone who's had a failure with one.  Get their lifters to match.

Re: cam gears, well, here reusing the stock one is a good idea.  Drill out
the dowels, remove the stock cam from it, and make it into a bolt-on gear
for your new cam.  That way, you still have the exact correct gear size for
your engine as it came from the OEM.

Take care,
