Anthony 1,002 Posted June 28, 2007 As said, it's a PT27 which is a race/rally cam - 304 degree duration, 12.4mm lift, and 4.3mm lift@TDC (ie lumpier than school custard) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peetypug 5 Posted June 28, 2007 cheers lads stupid me put i just pt27 and found it straight away it looks like its the bigest one they do(i dont think it will be good for a road car) I dont know whether to fit it or not i'm gona be running R1 carbs and dont know if they will fuel it properly i may even strip a 205 out and make myself a hill climber (when my sorrento is finally finished) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie-Van-GTi 71 2 Cars Posted June 28, 2007 I would run it if you are having a carb set up, may still be a mare at idle but a slightly raised toickover will prevent any stalling and will be a nice kick up top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peetypug 5 Posted June 29, 2007 i would love to put it in, my 205 is only going to be a weekend car so i could probably live with it. i rang kent up yesterday they said its best suited to 45mm carbs. the mikuni ones i have are 42mm so thats close enough as i've been told they are meant to be better than webers/delortos what exactly comes in the cam kit is it all uprated parts?

James_R 3 Posted July 3, 2007 To fit it you'll need a vernier cam pulley to adjust the cam timing, and by the looks of things uprated valve springs to run it, so that would be a head off job. so around another £200 ish for the other bits, then re-shim the lifters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M_R_205 5 1 Cars Posted July 3, 2007 i would love to put it in, my 205 is only going to be a weekend car so i could probably live with it.i rang kent up yesterday they said its best suited to 45mm carbs. the mikuni ones i have are 42mm so thats close enough as i've been told they are meant to be better than webers/delortos what exactly comes in the cam kit is it all uprated parts? id deffinatley fit the cam and r1 carbs, infact thats exactly what im doing lol, the powerband for the cam though fades off around 7200 rpm so if you set the limiter to that you will get away with normal springs, and id stick nw lifters in other wise you could wear the cam/ lifters out excessivly fast, (also if you stick with the std springs the head wont need to come off ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peetypug 5 Posted July 4, 2007 (edited) im taking the headoff anyway im fully stripping the whole engine to give it a new lease of life its done 114000 so i think its due a clean up if i put that cam in, will i need to do anything to the bottom end? im not after mega power but want the whole thing to be bullet proof what have you had to buy to fit the carbs? (ive got carbs, choke cable and fanimold up till now) eg, what regulators and other bits that i might need? Edited July 4, 2007 by sorrentopete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(ive got carbs, choke cable and fanimold up till now) eg, what regulators and other bits that i might need? iv only just done a `mock` fit today i used a shenpar manifold which is good but 1) expesive (£205 total lol ironic ehh) 2) not a verry good fit onto the carbs a bit of `cough`bending was needed, and finaly the two coolant holes on the cylinder head went coverd buy the manifold si i was squirted with coolant!!! apart fom that i got a seccond hand facet red top fuel pump off ebay for 20 quid or so, and a second hand pressure regulator for about 15quid, another thing which i still havent got round to yet is i need to take the fuel pump out and put basiclay a hose into the tank, a round bit of ally and a bit of ally tube welded up should do the trick apart from buying the above you just need to do the wiring and throw away the ecu, the wiring is a litle scary if you dont know your way round but if you need help with it send me a pm, as for the cam and the bottom end you will be fine, but like i said earlier a new set of lifters is a good idea, you best off just gettint the bottom end re`cond, as close to oe spec as possible and if you can balance everything up hope this helps Paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
