    262 Reground Camshafts with HD valve springs

    I'm overstocked on my 262 camshaft regrinds at the moment. I have 3 sets ground up ready to go so im selling them for cheaper than the usual price.

    Price is 1000NZD for the cams and 24 valve springs. If you send me back some stock cams knock 200 bucks off that price!

    Happy to ship internationally also.

    Get onto it before these are gone.

    What about without the valve springs?
    I have a set and a half of these already.

    Sorry to be a bit of a noob but I'm pretty new to modifying this much!

    How do these affect the drive-ability of the car for day to day use and roughly how much more power / torque can the engine be mapped to produce and where in the rev range is it likely to be found?

    On the same not of inexperience - how much labour is likely to be involved in getting a garage to fit these!

    700 without springs and same thing applies. If yiu return me your stock cams take 200 off

    Driveability is as normal fhese are a great street cam. Not too big that it upsets the idle too much and doesnt loose any low end power. We have seen aa much as 230kw at the wheels with these cams with stock turbos on pump fuel
    Takes about 8-10 hours to install. And you need a toold to remove the valve springs while the heads are still on the engine which is about 80NZD

    Thanks for the info,

    I'll keep this in mind but with that much labour and having to pay the garage it's probably some food for the future.

    hi adam,
    can you remember what the postage cost was when you sent a set of cams of to little old england last time someone bought some cam only.
    i know you said befor that that you are happy to under valve the cams to limit the cost of the import duty and VAT into england which is very good of you, i think at $500 plus postage plus duty plus VAT is a good price even for UK people.

    i am very interested, but i don't need the vavle springs, as i have two sets of 16 springs already (the BC1000 brian crower) so you would only need one set of 16 springs off adam and the cams.
    the cams with out postage duty and vat work out to be about £275 so if the cams are valued at $50 for shipping then import duty and VAT is negligible. it is just the postage. we both have a spare set of cams to send adam for the reduction. so that would be easy.

    it would be rude not to really. depending on postage cost.

    it might even be cheaper to combine postage for both of us.

    As I'm not all about "hiding professional secrets" I can tell you guys that some tuning is required after installing these. It seems that timing should be added.

    thanks for the info, both adam and myself are running LPG and have the timing advance turned up way past anything petrol can handle without using water/meth injection. without getting knock so this upgrade sounds ideal.

    and we all have the ability to edit the ecu maps.

    got the air compressor and fitting for pumping up the cylinder/valve.

    so it looks like everything is in place. just need the tool for changing vale spings itself.

    i have a standard valve spring compressor for changing the valve with a head off, so i might just do the upgrade on my spare engine as i have to take the heads of that anyway. and then swap the engines over afterwards.

    I think the tool required to change valve springs without removing the heads gets bolted to the top of the head in each cam position and then the spring compressing head of the tool is slide along to each valve on that cam position. Then moved the tool to the next cam position and bolt it on.
    But don't know what it is called.

    thanks pete,
    that is not a bad price for the tool,
    i have been doing some digging on the tool front and there seem to be lots of different types out there. from the type you have linked to, down to a block of metal that bolts to the cam cap holes and has a screw directly above the valve spring and it just screws in to compress the spring and release the pressure on the retainers.

    Yes thats the correct tool Peter.i just got a cheap version off ebay, cost me about 90NZD and ive done nearly 10 engines with it now and its not let me down.

    From memory is was about 150NZD to ship one set to the UK but I cant exactly remember. If you can organise 2 more people and i can send all 3 sets to one address im sure the shipping will be cheaper too.
    Plus I know how stupid the UK import tax is ao I am happy to undervalue the package to help save you some money, although i accept no responsibility for damages or losses during shipping if you decide to do this.
    The valve spring sets I have are BC1230 so sets of 24 and I would rather not split them and be left with 16.which I cant sell, so you will have to buy one more set of BC1100 to make up 2 sets of 24 or if you are going to buy all 3 sets 1 set of 16 and i can supply one set of 24.

    The car will run and drive fine on a stock ecu but as Lauri suggests to get the best results a dyno tune is reccomended.

    Thanks Adam that is great information. I will have a chat with Adaxo and foxdie to see if we can sort out the purchase.
    Sorry for hijacking you for sale thread with talk of valve spring compressors .
    But hopefully you will get a sale out of it.
