Hi,
my timing belt snapped and bent all 8 valves etc.. on my nova gte (after Llandow track day on route home). The cylinder head had the B+ pack from Bill blydenstein (bigger valves). The cylinder head has now been repaired (slight skim and 8 new valves, sleeves etc..). Before my unfortunate timing belt disaster my car was running a kent cam (nvo 61). The car revved nicely but was running a little lumpy on idle and at slow speeds was abit jerky.
Before my mechanic assembles the head and other various parts together he wants me to instruct him wether to put that "Kent Cam" back in or to put the "Original GTE Cam" in (which he prefers 100% because the car runs smoothly at all times with it in).
When rolling roaded previously my car averaged about 120bhp @ 5500 revs. If I go back to my original cam am i going to lose much bhp or is it minor? And also is the car going to feel significantly slower then before?
Whats your opinions on which cam I should fit - any advise greatly appreciated (need to know before tommorow nightlol)
Thanks George
