But one point to note is that if you fit that piper cam the lifters must come with it and ideally be matched to the lobes they previously ran with.
Standard head will not become too restrictive until around 250bhp.
Hi mate, the previous owner just had a lot of bad look, he hydrolocked a zvh etc I bought it off here about 2 years ago and he had just put a old used and abused engine in as he lost interest. a month ago the oil presure suddenly went and the smoke piled out, so guesing a ring. Was only runing 8psi.
So there would be no point buying a ported head since I'm only on mfi? Also the cam and tappets are matching but 1 tappet was noisy so was going to fit a new set. Is this a no go?? Do you think just stick to standard top end Karl? Cheers pal
