Fitted to my engine this weekend and all I can say is phwoarr!

I ended up standing and listening to it tick over for 5 minutes. Soooo quiet now. Well chuffed with it seeing as it was such a simple job.

 

what cam did u use and lifters

 

Standard cam kit from local supplier.

 

what is the price for a new standard camshaft??
have you seen any other difference except the noise?

 

Being abit slow here, but im glad you didnt break it m8!
Hows it drive now with the new cam?

 

I think the cam and followers was around £120 inc VAT, not 100% on that as I dont know what I have done with the receipt.
No difference yet as i'm running in new pistons as well, so driving like a sunday driver.

As above, got another 400 miles until set up so i'm just pootling about at the moment. Its so not having to listen to rattly followers though
Yeah i'm glad I kept it once I got my shit together and started sorting it. Trying to convince my old man to move his stag out of his garage so I can get it in the and get it ready for paint.
Got new bonnet vents, sunroof, jacking point covers, and front arches. So just a day or two of stripping and welding a few rough bits up it should be ready.

 

Nice-one m8
Should be loads more enjoyment and fun once its all run-in... Even cruising around with a nice silent engine (albeit with a loud exhaust note) is lovely!

 

what's the best place in england to buy the standard camshaft for the rst ? In belgium it costs more that double what you guys pay for. I even paid like 300 euros for the standard xr3i cam directly from ford and WITH discount that is..

Thanks

 

sorry for spamming, but would anyone know where you could get genuine cams and followers in ireland at a good price, ford parts? or is there a specialist? and is the quality much better over aftermarket stuff?
