riptide Member 733 Member For: 15y 8m 1d Gender: Male Location: Auckland, New Zealand Posted 03/02/12 06:00 AM Posted 03/02/12 06:00 AM I have been thinking about putting my old BF cams or just the exhaust cam into my BA motor I'm currently running in my BF. I blew the BF motor up a while back and the cams are just sitting there. I already robbed the cold side valve springs from the head.There are a couple of things I would like to know.1. Do I only need to do the exhaust cam?2. Can I do it in place?3. Will I need to take the cam chain off?4. Will it be a straight swap?5. Is it worth doing and what power gains?and any other relevant info would be appreciated.ThanksChris

If you had to do valve springs then I'd say put the exhaust cam in

(not to mention it costs nothing to do it myself)I really just want to know the easiest way to do it and are the intake cams identical or would they need swapping too?

Pack the cam's up and send them too me, I'll get them out of the way for you Cams are in the post.I put some other BF cams and springs in the BA engine when I had it apart fitting the spool rods and what a difference it makes.If anyone with a BA knows of a moth-eaten BF donk lying around I suggest ripping the exhaust cam out and slapping it in while doing the valve springs. Really makes them sing
