Is that a fitted price? If so, that is not too bad, but I wouldn't use a Kent Cam if it was me...

As an example, my head alone cost roughly around the price you said

 

i paid £850 for my pumarcaing 45mm valve head plus £310 for a custom newman cam

 

Seem's about right matey

 

But doesn't price often go hand in hand with quality

 

cheers guys

 

I guess you could have a point...

I had a Vulcan *cough cough* head on the car last time, so did Mr C. We both had very bad misfires above 5000 rpm. After the engines were taken apart it was found that the valve seats were all at the wrong angle which was causing the misfires at high rpm.

Good firm they are

 

think i shall be having mine done at field motorsport

 

and its only round the corner from ya dude!

 

power engineering do a good deal, and i like thier cams too, i had one few years back, could be a look, or burton power

 

Power Engineering heads are made by Vulcan, as are all their engines

 

maybe they wasnt in 94 when i had mine fit, ok well i dont know then, lol

btw im going back to a STANDARD cam

 

It was around 2000 that Powers stopped doing engines IIRC

 

why did they ? not enough demmand or just shite? my engine was pulling around 230 on the rollers , i was impressed at the time , and its still running today
reg num h596 pno

 

Because their engine builder hurt his back from lifting engine parts all day. They then started to sub the work to Vulcan. I guess it was cheaper than to employ another guy. The original engine builder still works at Powers.

If you order a PE BVH it will just be a Vulcan one with a PE price tag.

 

Another thing to remember is what flows well on the bench dont always flow well on the car

I'd only ever go for an NMS head myself,Look at the cars running these and you'll see why
