How's your cam lobes if you use 15/40 semi syn they should look sweet. Edited 28/05/17 07:57 AM by arronm 3

I got some second hand cams from another fg xr6 turbo.

No obvious damage.some Signs of coolant in the pistons but could of been due to disturbing it while the head was removed. I'll take the head hypoperformance on the coast on Thursday and have them inspect, test and machine.

Not sure which ones they lined up to but glad I got them to do a complete service and not just machining the head surface! Also Got the 12mm arp head studs, new gmb water pump and just going the ford oem head gasket for now! Still looking at timing chain and guides. 3
