Mr.h.

I was told i had a cvh34 in my s2 but when i removed the dizzy it clearly reads "cvh37" on the end of the cam shaft!!!

Are they any good? Do they use the original timeing marks?
How do they run on?

I had one in my RST, not a very good Cam at all to be used on the road at all.

Its extreamly peaky and makes the car very sluggish below 4.5k

More suited to a track car where your up in the high revs all the time.

A new standard cam is the best in my opinion

Ginge !

yeah cvh37 requires double valve spings and they come in the cam kit i belive

power band from 3.5 to 4k up to 8k, cant belive you had one ryan , what was the spec of ya old erst engine then

cheack the valve springs and see

but depending on the rest of the spec if its say 1.6 ported head and stage 3 t3 or below standard BRAND NEW cam or if above i prefer the cvh36, but thats a personal thing based on what i wanted when i got mine

Mr.h.

How was your set up mate did u use standard timeing marks or not?How did it run?Lumpy?

I think its a shite cam to but im unsure what cam/kit to replace it with?

Any ideas apart from standard?

Nick

Ginge !

whats the engine spec and all performance cams need timing up !!!!!

Mr.h.

Spec isnt nothing special mate!!!

cvh37,double valve springs,recon head, recon bottom end,-31, recon turbo,cone filter and full stainless!!!

The car is how i got it!!!


Nick

Ginge !

do me a favour when ya decide ya wanna remove the cam can ya take the inlet manifold off and take a piccy of the heads ports for me as i really dont see a cvh37 being fitted to a standard head as the cam kit is more money than the cvh34/35/36 as its got the valve springs meaning its prob a ported head

also take a piccy if the turbo and tell me what the zorst housing hjas wrote on it as again its prob got a .48

Mr.h.

Will do mate

Im in need of a new dizzy if you know of anyone with one?
How much are they to buy brand new from ford?

Nick

Ginge !

whats wrong with ya dizzy, if its the phase sensor cracked then cable tie it as they all get loose and cause it to missfire

Mr.h.

Fook knows!!!
It will only run when you fully advance it???
I swapped it over to my mates rst cab and it does the same on his?
Tried his dizzy on mine,lined up the point on the dizzy to the point on the head and it runs fine, so im guessing my dizzy is fooked

Nick

Ginge !

good point

i thinki got a working dizzy somewhere

Ryan

my engine had quite a bit of work done ginge.

Headwork, double valve springs, alloy retainers, low comp, t3\t34, and the usual extra mods.

morto

i agree on standard cam, iv had 2 285t2 in mine and dont rate them at all, i would go for a custom cam

andzz

MK5RST

Ive got a wroking dizzy in my garage but i aint a gold member so cant sell you it......









PM ME LOL

Ginge !

you cant just slap a cam in the motor and be done with it, it needs to match the parts of the car, a cvh37 is ideally for a steel rodded adn mental headwork joby and really suited for track use as hill starts would be a nightmare

standard cams are perfect for most aplications as most people tend to read fastford and then add parts like ya add black pudding to a breakfast

it needs to match the rest of the engine and also most important the driver using it

a t34 steel engined car is crap for posing off traffic lights but great for motorway/dual carriageway tearups
