yeah was very happy how it turned out! ok, yeah i think i got it all setup properly i just did everything the haynes manual told me took about a hour cause i rechecked everything about 3 times lol. im lucky i havnt done my motor in as the first inlet rocker was so loose i dont understand how it stayed in place lol i guess this shows pinto are pretty strong engines heh

well finally fixed my tappets after reading the haynes manual cant hear them now, main problem i found was on one of the tappets was the lock nut wasnt even done up and that tappet was mega loose ended up using 8 thou inlet *20mm* and 10 thou exhaust *25mm* seems to have a nice smooth power range now and can rev it out abit more! overall very happy

dont know anything about the cam at all all i know is its brand name is "camtec" cant find there website or anything also have another cam from them in my other engine dont dont know the specs of that either all i know is the one in my car atm is more lumpier then my other camtec cam!! lol yeah i might leave it for someone who knws what there doing. theres one place in palmy who specialize in fords etc.. "fortec performance" same people who are doing atropine zetec! might get them to sort it out when i get my twin 45mm sideys and some head work done depending whats already been done to it.. thanks anyways RT ur lotsa help! cheers

cheers RT yeah no turbo in the way. but i dont know the cam specs will give it a try!

Well after having my car on the road for a month now the one thing that annoys the hell out of me are the tappets What i wanta know is what are the settings? has a lumpy cam.. is it 8 inlet and 10 outlet? also what rock does the cam need to be on to change the settings? AND is it best to do it when its cold or hot? cheers

yeah hope so too whittikers?? yep
