Hello everyone,
more than a year went past since we improved the cylinder head, and I decided I'd like to change the camshaft, because I read a lot of times that it's worth it. It's an injection version of the Pinto, and there are two Kent cams, which I'm interested in. The FR30 and the FR34. I've consulted with my car mechanic, who did the job last year, and after seeing the specs, he said the FR34 would be a great choice.
But I read somewhere, that the Kent cams are prone to wear - I beleive it was an Escort turbo CVH engine in question - and that sometimes they aren't up to the specs as they intended to be. Is this true, if we're talking about a Pinto cam? Or what else would you buy instead? I've got a slightly modified cylinder head - skimmed by 1.3 mm - with improved flow, but no porting and standard valves. I want mid-range torque instead of high revving power.
I've read that the Burton BF134 is also a superb cam for what I need. What's your opinion? Kent or Burton, or something else?
Thank you in advance,
