Gaz Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Kelford have heaps and heaps of differant cam grinds for the 1600 kent. From standard to fast road to full race. They also can get in new pre ground Kelford cams to go straight in. Dont go with the GT grind, i had one in my 1600 and it is only just slightly higher lift than a standard grind (from memory). You can get the kents sounding damn lumpy witha nice cam, dont know bout sounding like a rotary tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerm Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 yeah i was goign to just get a GT grind but was told i may aswell not even bother and same with the bcf2..... but the bcf3 sounds pretty good.... its wither that or the crow that i amlooking at with alot more cam lift (400 thou) than the bcf3 but around the same duration (280) will that be even more lumpy sounding?

Guest ol_skool_esky Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 na it doesn't sound exactly like a rotor...... but peps are so dumb they think the only motor that can be that lumpy is a fucking rotor....... its easy to tell the difference between a rotor and a piston motor with a hot cam.... and yeah ur rite kelford make some great cams for the kent engine..... crow also make great cams jerm you shuld go with wat suits ur car and wat u want best....... both crows and bcf3 are awesome cams...... check out the kent web site http://www.kentcams.com go product search the click on the make and go ford.... go to about page 2-3 and u get bcf1-3 specs..... theres also another kent cam that is very good i've heard.... an A6 but that is a full race cam with shit loads of duration so i wouldn't thnk of buyin that 4 a road car....

Jerm Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 i was looing at an A series cam.... you can get milder ones than the full race A6 ... they are cosworth grinds ... i was thinkins of the A2 or A3 ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_days_late Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 i got my cam from kelford in christchurh, it cost about $300, its fast road / rally spec which is the equivilant of the bcf3. powerbands meant to kick in at 2500rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WESTCORT Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 im getting my cam ground at glendene engine reco's, and aparently jerm duration will give you power up the rev range, lift will give you it low down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerm Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 exactly why i have gone for high lift and not so much duration..... 400 thou valve lift is heaps more than the kent 234, 244 cosworth A2, A3 and bcf2, bcf3..... and 280 is less duration than most of them...... the duration also determines how long the valve is open when the piston is rushing to TDC so if you have to much duration the valve will hit the piston.... especially with your 1300 ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidian Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 im getting my cam ground at glendene engine reco's, and aparently jerm duration will give you power up the rev range, lift will give you it low down haha thats where i went..

Guest WESTCORT Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 yeah john simpson is the guy, are you talking bout his race capri? he was showing me the head and he reckons polishing your ports doesnt make any difference, hes not even gonna bother in his capri that he races Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 it does make a difference....a BAD difference. You should not polish your intake ports but you should polish your exhaust ports. The reason is that smooth polished intake ports cause the fuel to stick to the sides instead of going into the combustion chamber. rough ports help break up and atomise the fuel. but for exhaust you want that shit out of there asap so smooth ports are good.

Jerm Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 yeah my ports are almost done and i have just been doing them with a grinding stone... and the guy who is helping me who has had ALOT of expierience building race engine (45 years) said don’t bother polishing it ... the finnish you get from the grinding stone is fine.... and the exhaust ports don’t need much done to them.... for that stageof engine i am building anyways...
