Some guy said these were bent, i have no idea what hes talking about!

[klmillard]

r they not supposed to be like that. lol

 

[Adams_16v]

nah theyve just been modified for more power...!

 

[cliocup]

Ha ha! they look like the KA ones we bent when the timing chain snapped at 6500 rpm over the stage finish in the forest of dean!!

But the cam was in 3 pieces also and that wasnt good either.

What happened then mate???

 

[BenR]

lol..........the ol endura eh!

thats what i hate about the old crossflow design, changing heads etc is so easy, but change the cam!!!!! god , out comes the engine.

You running a simplex or duplex chain?

I dont know which to use, its on a 1760 running a 234-244 cam, 41.3 BVH, std ratio titan roller tip rockers anda 10.5:1 CR.

the Duplex would be safer, but i HATE the offset woodruff key system, and the simplex vernier would make life so easy. Not seen a proper duplex vernier yet.

As for that head, a simple cambelt failure. not too much damage at all, jsut the valves and a skim needed, but i am concerned about the cam bearings, there is a edge on the exhaust cam bearing # 2. Need to see if it can be line honed.

I was tempted by a LOL n all the rest.
