robgeev Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Try the rawlbolt again-i used a small one with a longer bolt through it, I think the problem is probably carbon build up above the wear line. Rob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fremont Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I think the problem is probably carbon build up above the wear line. I was hoping the followers protrude past the bore at full lift; else a high-lift cam ( like the one I intend to fit ) might hit a ridge where the std lift excursion ends....

Andy K Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I would have thought that the offer of free beer would be quite successful in getting most Camb Followers out. lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
