Hi all, got a 2wd motor to sort for somebody, its got a pair pof BD14 cams and kent pulleys. When it arrived the belt was very loose and had moved, whats the best plan to sort it out? I have only ever used std cams so new to me!

Written on cams,
BD14 inlet, KG1,
BD14, KG12,
Well thats what it looks like!!
Cheers

 

You need valve cut outs to run BD14's

 

Hi, the motor has been biult by someone else, 200 block, long studded, 4wd head etc, so they have already been done, just not sure how to set it up to get the belt back on!

Many thanks ......

 

Do you have a std pulley to hand ?, if so just leather strap it, for both cams, and set to std settings, most cams are keyed to std settings.

no you dont that's just hear say

 

You MAY, too many variables for a one fits all answer, ie how much has the head been skimmed, has the block been skimmed, what HG are you on, how knackered are the valve springs etc etc etc.
The std cams can cause valve to piston contact as mine did and millions of others have if they are revved enough, esp with tired springs.

As tabs says above, I wouldn't risk it! Someone only has to change the belt and line it up on the wrong bottom pulley mark for example, which happens a lot, and you've had it!

 

ALL I've stated is that what you wrote in your o p was wrong info ! ps and IF someone lines the timing up to the wrong marks without knowing which one to use then they must be a good one not??

 

Even if it is wrong, I would not chance it - as I expect most of the time it's correct. That's why the AB07 cam is there I believe, so you know 100% you can run it without valve cut outs
