Hi there...

I have a set of 7 Kent cams mechanical followers (Lost one of them years ago, and never got around to find it :-(...)

Its a big spec Zvh, and i am probably going for a custom Newman cam for my setup.

As i already have a set of 7 Kent followers, it would be far easyer to purchase 1 from Burton.

But are theese any good compared to Newmans?

Cam and lifters have to be ran in together so you cant use your old lifters with a new cam.

 

Forgot to mention that the lifters are brand new. Only fitted and adjusted. The engine never ran...

 

I would still use Newman lifters with a Newman cam as they should be made form the same material and bed in at the same rate.

 

Okay...

You may have a point there ...

Thanks a lot

 

Just not worth the risk of metal in your oil if either fail IMO.

 

If you go for a custom newman cam, I think you must go for newman solid lifters. Newman cams are different material as kent and because that is better not to mix them.

 

mate i would go newman never hear bad things about them and have a look at my thread on kent cams will give you a rough idea how good kent are
