Default Would These Fit A 1600CVH?.....

Does anyone know weather the cam from a 1400 CVH would fit a 1600 CVH?
Would the tappets from a 1400 CVH fit the 1600 CVH?

Thankyou!

cam will fit but i doubt the profile will be the same.........the lifters are all the same.

I did have a car with a 1400 CVH though a few years back, and it had all over sized components fitted, the lifters were slightly bigger than normal though and from what i can find some engines did come like this from the Factory.

Second hand CVH cams are very hit and miss anyway, the best thing to do would be to buy a brand new cam and a set of lifters...........

You say the lifters are probably the same, but oversize?

all CVH's should share the same size lifters, but as i say it is known for some engines to have over size parts, although i dont really have an answer as to why.

To put it bluntly though, budget or not, YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME fitting a second hand cam and lifters...........Ł100 MAX for a new cam set

Let's put it this way. If you are going to use a used cam, then you preferebly should use its lifters and not mix their order up either.
