Adjustment Kent Cam
Hi!
I bought a cylinder head with a kent camshaft in it.
What I would like to know, is the kent cam pulley required, or
can the cam be adjusted with the original pulley?

i know they strech the belt and they is a small danger of cam belt snapping but then again a uprated belt might stop that, safechav is your man to ask

To time the cam in correctly you need a adjustable vernier pulley.
No point having a aftermarket cam, if its not time correctly, as you wont see any benifits at all, infact it will be worse.
And a Alloy pulley expanding, lol, Not true.
