really pissed off jamsport fitted brand new cvh 35 cam kit and it lasted 5 minutes on the rollers when they were setting it up it fell to bits the quality of this product is shit and i will be getting in touch with rally design and will ask for my money and jamies labour back and will get a newman off jamie when refunded any one else had these problems with kent cams before

loads of people have said that mate.... but to go that quickly is realy bad

craig rst kid

fair play to jamie he fitted a second hand cam from piper to get me home mate you want to see it i couldn't beleive it when i looked at it lets hope rally design choose to coff up because i have to now drain my oil and filter becuse people can't define the word quality just thought iwould put this up so people stay well clear from this brand of cams

good man matt told me the other day they had that as a spare...

did you get a power graph from it with the piper cam....

and whats the condition of the piper cam as ive had loads and its an alright cam if its mint

craig rst kid

no mate jamie didn't want to risk it with the amount of swarf thats possibly in my engine but has tuned it and runs a lot better and is better on fuel but will be going back up for newmans 1 soon but is a lot quieter jamie wouldhave done it mate but he was rushed off his feet when i got there and didn't charge me a lot no complaints will be using them frequently in the future as they have got me out the shit today big time would recommend them to any one on here

Oranoco

Seen both Piper and Kent eat cams very quickly although all my Kent and Piper cams have proved themselves to be faultless on my own engines. Even hear of Newman cams failing. You'll do well to get your money back but have no hope in Hell of recovering costs for labour etc.

The cam was run in correctly wasn't it?

craig rst kid

looked good yesterday though mate sorry about the gearbox bet that pissed you off straight off the rollers as well

makaveli96

Sorry to hear about that mate, I've had my topend engine rebuilt about 4 years ago and I used the same cam kit as yours and had it rolling road tuned straight after had no problem so far with it but I have only covered about 16k on it so far.

jessie_rs

16k for a cvh cam is good mileage!

craig rst kid

cheers mate You must be lucky enough to have a decent 1 i will get piks up this was minutes after it was after it ws run in now i know why people say they are made out of chocolate lol

craig rst kid

how long do cams last on average s i don't drive mine hard all the time i tend to just have bursts or thrash it when you get idiots with saxos come up my arse so just leave them i have tried to play with a few scooby's but have been destroyed so far unless its of a rolling star then i stayed with one up until90 mph then he blipped me lolbut most of the time i chill

rickbartlett

in the current climate,it seems that companys are using lesser quality materials than they used to

craig rst kid

tell me about it mate just pisses me off brcause kent must jnow there's something not rughtwith the quality of there kits but still sell them contaced rally design and they told me they don't accept them back and i have to contact kent so will be contacting kent today

Rogeyboy

iTrader: (2)

I had this prob, kent were pretty helpful - turned out i hadnt run the cam in properly... But they sold me a replacement cheap and its done 30+k so far with no probs...!

Maxwell

I was speaking to mark at jamsport this afternoon and he actually told me about fitting a kent cvh35 to a customers car recently and it fell apart. Lol

They seem to recommend a newman 280 degree

JamboRS

poor after sales from rally design,they should be the ones chasing,they sold you the cam
like a car dealer selling you a car then it breaking and saying contact the manufacturer,its nothing to do with us

studabear

I agree with jambo^

Sound like they've just fucked you off, end of the day you have had the kit fitted at a very well known ford tuner, I would have a little chat ith your local trading standards department

what lifters were supplied in the kit? Chances are they wasnt decent ones as there is no reason that a cam should fail like that from any company. However i have heard about off batches of cams and lifters in the past from most of the leading manufactors having faults of some sort. Hence why the antipump lifter was removed off the shelf.

stevo123

I fitted a Kent to my mk3 3i (about 5 years ago now like) and it failed within 1000 miles. I used new standard lifters, lubed it, fresh oil and filter and did not let it idle for a good 25 mins. I varied revs between 2500rpm and 3000rpm within that time.

Drove for hours tucked behind an artic on the A1 on 3 pots to get home. Lifter and lobe destroyed. Started as a slight tick and got to the point of 3 pots within 20 mins or so.

Car went a better with it though - nice while it lasted lol.
