hello again mate

welcome to the glorius world of CVH top ends

Fact of life with these, cam wear is inevitable.

Surprised to see an ultra parts cam Everyone i mention that name to says "who are ultraparts" and screws up theyre face as if to say bet that wont last 5 minutes.

How much did that set u back? Please say u bought new lifters aswell

Look at the dizzy end of your old cam and see what code is stamped in the end....?
