neeko ,


we didnt strip the head off the car , but if you go on the assumption , that when the cam snaps , the the lobes shift and the valve springs pull the valves shut then there shouldnt be any valve damage ,


i had to coast it bk to the gagage arouns 700 yards and it was running badly but still running ,



my advice would be to swap out the camshaft re time the engine and rotate it by hand to see if you have any issues , pay close attention to the valves where the snapped section was to see if theres any resistance ,


if not , id just fire it up


we literally helicoiled the studs , put it in ,and fired her up


as said still going strong



if i rember rightly you can use an inlet cam to replace an exhaust ( but not the other way round )


if thats tha case mate ive a spare one her you could have for cost of postage and a beer token or two ?


maybe worth asking in the genral discussion , but if im correct , drop me a pm



soon have it blatting about track
