out of commission.....

[silverstreak]

well guys, i took out my cams today. im sending them to crower to get "hardfaced" hardfacing is a race/street application. Welding up stock lobes to allow unlimited spec while maintaining stock base circle. this will give me about another 25-30 WHP with my set up.i just have to get valve clearances from crower. im sending them my stock clearances, and they will change them depending on the lobes. ill do a write up as soon as i get tehm back, in about 10 days. now that i think about it, i should have done a write up w/pics on the cam removal.

[silverstreak]

it cost $40 per lobe and $135 per cam, so it ran me $455 per cam. just to let you gus know. crower doesnt make cams for the TC yet so they either regrind them (5-10 hp) or hardface them, more expensive, but more HP too

from all the instructions i have seen (witch is verry few) the head is a _____ to do any thing with on the tc doing the zpi head requirs you take out the block (again from what i heared) i dont know if that is the case with removing the cams but hopefully we can get some input on this from silverstreak

[Simplyscion]

theres no reason to take the block out to change cams

[jmiller20874]

Didn't think so unless it's neccessary to remove the timing chain.

[aarontrini85]

yeah your probly correct you could just remove the valve cover and yank them out but i think the timing chain does have to come off
