Nice video. Thanks for making that. I have the same engine, and just replaced the lifters. Seems like your cams went in without having to press down on the lifters. Is that right? Shouldn't there be pressure on there lifters from the cam?
@@GreyGooseRestorations so I'm putting in fresh ones and they are oiled. So they are sitting higher. Any thoughts on the best way to put the cam back in
Aslong as their all sat on the valve springs and not wedged on the head, then just put the cam on and all the cam caps and nuts on and nip them up, then tighten them down little by little from centre outwards like cylinder head bolts
I’ve read on the forums that kr inlet cams can help to make some more power, but coudn’t verify it. Do you know if kr inlet cams are any different to 9a-ones ? You share alot of good information troughout the videos. Keep up the good work
Thanks, Yes the KR inlet cams are a higher lifting cam then the 9a ones. So if you put a KR inlet cam in a stock 9a then it'll liven it up a bit. All 16v exhaust cams are pretty much the same from KR/9a/6a/PL etc
@@GreyGooseRestorations curious I’m installing cams for a friend it’s been some time since I’ve done this. They are a set of ABF cams in a 1.8 kr motor. Is there an easy way to get these things to line up when installing them with the two marks on the lip of the cylinder head? I find it hard because when you go to press down on the camcaps the camshafts want to move? Any advice?
@@jdportwerks6795 it can be quite awkward, try and see which way the cams go out of line then offset them the same about so when you tighen them they align
Excellent video. Only thing abit confussing is the engine looks the opposite way around due to the camera but awesome to watch 16v content thanks
Took my a while to figure out why your engine was orientated the wrong way, thought you'd put the cams in back to front!
Yeah its confused a few people 😕
So question, the two cam circles line up, the big gear that sits outside the valve cover should line up as well?
Yes, with the two small dots lined up the cam pulley should line up with the V on the valve cover
Nice video.

There was a little bit of pressure on the lifters, not a great deal though as they're empty of oil.

How are you spinning this so freely with lifters & springs in the head?
The cams aren't fastened down, they are just resting on the cam followers

@@GreyGooseRestorations yeah it’s almost impossible of what I remember. Just wasn’t sure if you know a trick as to installing these easier
