Hi guys i brought the red fiesta of here the one with the black alloys and the big ends and mains have gone on it. ive taken the engine out now striped it and found that it doesnt have a high lift cam in it like it was suupose to. any way i'm having the head gas flowed and ported stage 1 and seems waste of time with not having a high lift cam. which make is the best piper t2 cam or the kent cvh35 cam. please help me out guys any advice would be much appreciated.

 

cant say which is best but i have the piper cam

when first fitted the idle was crap - and i ended up having it set up at power engineering cos i needed other stuff done - now its perfect

(apparantly the piper is meant to give a crap idle but i havnt had this since PE worked on it)

power comes in around 3500rpm and it dont half shift



obviously i can only give my view on the piper tho mate

 

which red fiesta with black wheels? the 5 spoke ones?

nasty mate

 

yeah the one with the black wheels 5spoke yaeh full engine rebuild on the go now all new bottom end rebuild head inc new cam gas flowed and ported head stage 1 then it's going to mikeanics to be tuned in cheshire as i live in stoke on trent,

Wathcha mean nasty

once everything is done to the car it should be fine all the engine will be brand new all the body work will be mint no rust and all wax oiled

 

you payed the full asking price and it turned out to be fooked? or did you get it cheap?

either way good luck with the rebuild

kent is a good cam and so is the 285t2.

 

Kent CVH34

Used Piper and Kent and prefer the Kent. But that's just my opinion. Tempted to try a Newman cam as they are sposed to be excelent. Heard horror stories about both Kent and Piper cams. Wouldn't personally even use a 285T2 as a paperweight

 

Stay away from the piper t2 worst mistake i did with my car it was only after it was fitted loads of peeps told me they were not impressed with it at all which is typical

 

I prefer the piper cam to a kent. The idleing doesnt bother me as i'm running twin carbs so the idle speed is slightly high.

 

i was planing on buying a kent cvh35, but just picked up a piper in mint condition for cheap.
