in an ideal world new cam new followers.i have never had any problems using old followers on new cams but i have only fitted reground/profiled cams.
I think they are about £60 each from Renault.
Im waiting for a few companies to back to me with a price for some followers making, going to try them out on my car. If all is good im hoping we can sell them through the club shop, for more like £60 a set!
i can get genuine followers for about £210 a set
is it possible to get old followers reground if im fitting a new cam?
my bro got a new set for his, but they are too big, assuming they are campus, what are the size differences for them and the GT, and can they be machined down rather than drilling the block out?
The block can be taken out to a larger size. I seem to remember Andy Cooke looked at having this done....
The two sizes are 19.0mm and 19.2mm.
I'm sure the Turbo and Turbo 2 used a larer diameter follower.
can they be machined without messing about with the block?
Do you mean machine the diameter of the 19.2mm followers down to 19.0mm followers?
Not sure if that would be possible, best to have a look at the two side by side, its not a vast amount of material so you may be in with a chance.
yeah, make the campus followers fit the 19.0mm hole
i have someone that could machine the followers easier than messing about with the block
They are all 19mm, the 19.2mm is oversize, so when the block wears you can have the block machined to fit the larger followers. If I were you I'd investigate getting the block bored.
turbo2are still the same as the gordini turbos...19mm
just got off the phone to renault, £24 each plus vat and they done even have 8 in the country and will have to come from france.
