285mm cam

[MORGAN165]

im thinking about getting a 285mm cam, and im guessing its a good idea 2 uprate valve springs but is there anything else i need to uprate/ change? :confused:

Just had mine done, New Gasket set, uprated head bolts, uprate the valve springs and away you go! didnt change followers

Although if u can change it without taking engine out then just springs?

Uprated springs are must with 285 cam. Change vernier pulley too ;)

as above. you need to change to the piper valve springs,i flowed my head the other day and the standard spring were fully compressed at 8.5mm lift. the piper spring were fully compressed at 10.8mm, so they're a must. :agree:

that and the vernier... probably make things easier when fitting and tuning etc

285 will be **** with a T2 mate, you need a bigger turbo i.e T25 to get any real benefit from a 285 cam
