Standard 1200 on Kent AST1

[matt_vaughan]

I need to do some more portfolio work for college (Motorsports Degree)

Now, I've got a Kent AST1 and a standard 1200 engine, worth fitting? Will be met with a 4 branch after not a lot of time.

But for now, is it worth the effort of putting it in?

Looking at Kent site, I'll be getting much more lift (Kent is 6.24 mm lift over the 5.1/5.5 on standard)

i was running 1200 with ast1 cam for a while, it went pretty well, easy enough to change and if you've got one your not using id put it in, cost me £60 for a 2nd hand one, worth every penny imo :D

the duration & overlap will be different.

it can't be worse than the one thats in there

To be honest, the belt is overdue a change and I want to change the HG for my own piece of mind, may aswell do it all in one go. Cant hurt.

as a put on till you get a 4 branch fiy a 1.6 manfold and down pipe too if you can find one

I have a 4 branch at home, just cant fit quite yet as it needs welding in.

Not expecting rocket ship power, just want something a little livelier than it is now :D

And it's all good practice I can use for college portfolio.
