Performance parts
Since my budget is very limited, this section is quite small…
Schrick camshaft kit, with new valve springs and lower valve spring retainers
Cam info: 288º inlet/ 280º exhaust (28º-80º, 69º-31º)
Cam lift: 6,5mm (10,6mm at the valve)
Valve lift at TDC: 1,4mm, 1,8mm (important for good idle at low speed and the ability to pass in emissions test) below 1,9mm for 2 valve engines with hydraulic followers.
Very good machining (CNC), tight fit in head and lobes coated to aid break-in.
For those of you that never heard of this company, they are the makers of the Bugatti Veyron’s engine block and cylinder head (as many precision parts for F1, etc.)
And also the makers of this:
16 valve conversion kit for the CVH!
Here’s one thing you don’t see everyday on a CVH cam, a hole in each lobe to lubricate the follower… Very nice!
The new valve springs are approximately the same geometry as the old ones.
