1.3 cams in 1.0

[greenk11]

Does anyone know how to put 1.3 cams into a 1.0 step by step guide would be advantage any advice would be great cheers

 

[frank]

there,s a guide on here for paid members, and a few previous threads too

 

[dmaster]

imo not sure how hard they are to fit
you get about 10bhp but lose some low end torque

Easy to fit! Is it worth it though?

I know, I found it shortly after posting it, what a numpty!
Looks like a big job (still haven't done it!) but I think with a couple of mates and all of the tools I can do it. Maybe a 1.3 engine next!

i would advise any novice to trap the chain against the exh cam and change only the inlet cam first (less chance of cocking up the timing lol :doh

 

[Maccy]

Thanks for the info, did you just use a flat head screw driver to do that?

yes, or a chisel :grinning: that way the crank stays on top dead center and the exh cam is trapped in position, so you just fit the inlet cam and sprocket in the same position as the one you took out
(the gloves are there to stop anything falling down the void )

Yeh I read in the guide that dropping anything done there is a PITA to get out! Cheers for the tips

 

[COZ!!!!]

10bhp? Sounds like a fairly good gain. Do you need to do any tuning to get the full 10bhp?

And how much do these cams normally go for?

 

[frank]

10hp is a bit optimistic fwn more like 5hp imo (mainly from the inlet cam i reckon)

 

[COZ!!!!]

^^ thought as much. Just using the 1 cam seems the easier option that will still c u get a good gain.

would a better gain be seen with 1.6 cams?(Y)

1.6 ones wont fit coz, performance cams would give 10 + gains

Hi Folks

Just my tuppence worth ?

When i have changed overhead twin cams in the past i usually remove one bearing cap from the cam i am not working on and put a small single thickness peice of newspaper under the cap to clamp the cam in position whilst removing and refitting the other one.

I do hope i am not going to get shot down over this but it does work exceedingly well.

Kind regards

Malcolm
