I have recently read that it is better to keep your original cams and have those pinned, so that the wear on the lobes and tappets stays matched.

Question....when you get a new cam installed under warranty work at the dealer..do they replace the tappets along with the camshaft?

 

Very unlikely.

 

Hi,
I have read about the spun camshaft sleeve issue and I starting to get worried about mine... I am going to remove engine for a clutch swap and pin the coolant lines and thinking about pinning the camshaft as well. I have not found any info how to do this. Anyone have pictures that can explain how to fix it? Reason I ask is that a friend of mine is running a cnc machine shop and was hoping it could be fixed locally rather sending the camshafts out of the country to get it fixed.
Thanks

 

Anyone that can share some info regarding how to pin the camshafts? Or is this top secret stuff that the builders keep to them self?
Thanks

 

You could ship the cams to srm and have sean do the work.

 

Yes I could, but would prefer to get it done locally at a cnc shop. Are the sleeves just locked in place with a set screw similar to the pinned coolant lines?
Thanks

 

You can ship your core to Todd at Protomotive and they can do it for you.




Just kidding.

 

Anyone that can share some info?
Thanks

 

Best advice you're going to get is - call John Bray at EVOSpec and ask him. I've dealt with all the vendors mentioned in this thread (and 2 out of 3 are outstanding) but John is *the* guy you want to deal with.

Consider the costs of doing it once, and then consider the costs of doing it twice.

 

Thanks
I have sent him a message, but have not got any reply yet. Maybe he is very busy, or this camshaft pinning topic is top secret stuff

 

Just go to a machine shop. Not a difficult job.
