Cheers for the cam specs. I actually went looking and found the sheet in KingCity's thread before you edited your post to include it.
I guess it just generally makes it feel like it's breathing better and revving harder?

Mine arent in the car yet as theyre going in the reconditioned engine, but yeah its meant to let it rev more freely especially in top high rpm

I hope he gave you the spring that goes inside the mirror, they're a really weird design and use spring pressure to hold the mirror down and let it move, it's really confusing to figure out!
Also got the head on, cam from Kelford is also in but no picture of that yet.
Check out the absolute terror of the original engine once I took the head off, it's difficult to see but there's major scoaring on the top of the cylinders as well as oil burnt onto the cylinder wall. No wonder it was running like crap..
Take care of your City's!

Yeap cam with a spring
So what will you do with the worn engine? And was it a total bitch getting the headbolts off?

At this stage worn engine will just be spare parts, may take it more apart in future just out of interest but it's pretty useless to me atm. Actually no just a big breaker bar and they came off pretty easy, works a treat!

Hey Bitters its good to see your enthusiasm came back. I thought you might have done head studs aye, i use to blow head gaskets all the time running between 18 & 20psi boost before i changed to ARP studs, it wouldn't blow it straight away but over time it would always blow through the gasket cylinder ring into the water gallery.

Did my 500km run in oil break in period, changed oil and went for a drive today. Engine runs really good and has, for lack of a better word, a shit load more power than it did on the old engine. I'm going to get in trouble with this car
so happy with it though, a lot of work went into the rebuild and its finally at the finished product!
