I have emailed you Adam about the camshafts @Adam.Findlay
By the way do you still have 3 sets of cams? I read on ozvr4 that you sold one set already.

Bye for Now!
yes still have 3 sets.
Bump
I adam @Adam.Findlay
i have done the number crunching on all cost the involved and i just can't afford the cams in the UK.
I would love to have them at the New Zealand price, they are a proper bargain at the base NZ price without the shipping to the UK.
It is a shame you are not based over in the UK.
sorry for not getting back sooner i have been mulling it over with adaxo.
i am going to leave it.
maybe when i win the lottery i will have some 262, 272, and 280 cams off you and i can fly out to NZ and pick them up personally. LOL.
These are still available.
Do you buy sets? Or are you over stocked with stock ones?
Hi adam what is the benefit of installing Heavy duty Valve spring over stock? more rough engine noise as side effect I suppose? and how much is the price. Definitely interested in your cam and i have spare camshaft but i ve already spent 1100 AUD on high flowing TD03. money will be ready on november, 2 month away. Is it true no noticeable loss on low rpm? no noisier sound?

No low ened power loss.
Valve springs are required to keep the valve train under control and deal with the more agressive profile of the reground cams.
The springs haveno effect on the idle quality, thats caused by the cams but there are a mild street cam
Price is detailed in the first post...
1000NZD for the set with springs.
Or 800NZD if you send me your stock cams to grind
This price is only until the 2 sets I have left sell. Then the orice gies back up to 1100 and 900 respectivly.

Hi Adam, engine rebuild is done, 262 cam already on. Haven't tried engine power on track due to engine break procedure. But the HLA now is noisy. is that the side effect of 262 cam regrind? any idea how to overcome this issue or i should have live with that? To be honest the tapping noise is annoying me, the sound like my car has diesel engine inside

Could the tapping noise be reduced by shimming the bottom of the hydraulic tappets
Just have to make sure you don't block the oil drain hole with shim.
You would Need to work out how much extra the hydraulic tappet has extended above the normal height to take up the slack when material is removed from the bottom of the lobe. Then that would put you back at the same operating point of the tappet before the cam was fitted.
Am i on the right lines here.

Yes dave the ticking noise reduced, almost gone now but still ticking, getting harder as rpm increase. once the engine break procedure passed i will use heavier oil grade (15w-50 mobile 1) now 10w-40 castrol magnatec and check it out with my spare HLA and maybe put the shim on. they said about 0.5mm thick. but if still ticking i may buy the solid HLA.
Did you uprate the springs? If it is worse at high revs maybe the valves aren't closing fast enough? I have no real concept of the spring strength required or the strength of the stock springs, let alone a good grasp of the physics in that particular situation, but just a thought.
15w 50? Not sure about that. I have no issues with my rpw 272 cams oem springs no shims I don't know if that helps? I found edge 0w30 keeps the ticking away
In tropical country not wise to use lighter oil grade, especially with hi boost and hi rev, the oil pressure will drop faster. in my region its recommend to use higher grade fully synth oil like 15w-50 mobile 1 to maintain oil pressure. so if no one find the problem with high duration cams, the culpirit would be bad condition HLA. will find it with my spare HLA whether is good enough for replacement.
Fair enough must be warm where you are
