Hey guys,
nice and simple.

thanks

[tom reid]

No

[bmw156]

oh poo.

what would happen if an engine was running say two inlet cams?

[blacknovagsi]

i'd be supprised if it were "running"

[bmw156]

lol.

well, i have discovered, that my XE possibly has two inlet cams in it. not sure 100% as the exhaust one could of been cut short. but atm there are two cams the same length as the inlet cam.
was running "ok"and reved fine....

all i can say is eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek lol

check the part no's

[deanwilko]

my camshafts are the same lenght because im not using a dizzy of the exhaust cam, so they were made from inlet blanks as im using megajolt setup.

[bmw156]

will check the part numbers tomorrow,

bit worried!

[16v Nova Kev]

i have a set out of an engine sitting if you want to cross referance pal.

[bmw156]

cheers mate, its ok, i have a rebuild coscast head, so i will chuck that on, with normal cams! just wondered about the inlet cam on the outlet.

[Danny s-p]

short out let cam normally means it a late coil pack

[tom reid]

Why worry?

[bmw156]

Why worry?

because the engine has just jumped a tooth!

and also the end of the cam doesnt sit in the runner so just looks weird lol.

as far as i was aware xe cams are identical

ill probably measure them at some point just for my own peace of mind lol.

[matthew172]

according to max boost website the The XE cams are symmetrical, they rhyme 18-62/62-18 duration 255 and 9.5mm lift
