just want to make sure my cam is knackered (if it is that is)
i have a cvh35 at the mo and get no power after 4000rpm in all gears is that differenetly the cam or other issue with the engine?

 

I too seem to have this problem as well it boost for 2500rpm then hits 4000rpm and goes flat no power

 

Could be cam.

 

Would have anything to do with the ECU possibly retarding timing due to a possible problem ?

 

I have a chipped S1 ECU(in a S2), well it says chipped on the ECU but it says oxo on buses but they dont sell it !!

 

i share the same problem, i've just fitted a chipped ecu and still the same! mine seems to be on and off all the time, i can drive down one road and have no power, drive down the next and its all back?!

 

yours sounds like a actuator that has gone soft.


thanks

pull the cam out and check the lobes

 

it wont be the cam fella that head has had very little use, you could really see the cam come im at about 4000 when i had it, have you had it timed up properly?

 

Why cant it be the cam?

that is impossible to quote with out checking the lift on the lobe's.

 

it was the cam mate as i replaced it with cvh34 last monday, turned out that the exhaust lobes were all knackered

 

Another poor blank by Kent then. Never experienced the problems myself but it I'm hearing it more and more often

 

some times its the fitting, and sometimes its luck of the draw,

either poor item, cam or follower, or fault in oil flow or valve issue.


i've had 5 Kents in my Cvh's.


A 35 lasted over 30k miles, and still fine,
A 35, and a 34 fucked them selves after 2-4k miles,
A 22 one was fine, but cant remember the milage,
and i fitted a 35 about 4 weeks ago.
