I popped the heads off in order to remove the broken exhaust studs (one per cylinder)
(I wrote broken head studs....I meant exhaust studs) Stock camshaft has some strange wear patterns on it which might be part of the previous owner problems with the motor. Cam will be a 9600 grind from Rabys old store Intake planned is stock L-Jet, however I can be swayed to install Megasquirt (plenum or ITB) since I already have the Megasquirt. Exhaust is older European Racing Header. |

Do I have to buy a new gear for the cam or can I remove the rivets on the original cam and the use bolts?
I saw a straight cut gear in the classifieds....too loud? What about cutting a groove in it? And if I do use my original cam gear worth making it adjustable able? |
