x - k2 sv cams both exhaust the same ?

[barwel1992]

are the exhaust cams on the x - k2 sv both the same ? ore does a specific one have to go in front cylinder and the other one have to go in the rear cylinder

Mmm, can't remember if the timing markings are identical, I think they're not, but the actual cam itself- duration lift etc- is identical so as long as you get it in right it'll work. They're marked front and rear aren't they?

ahh bugger ment intake cams, they are going in the exhaust of my k3 so have to mark them up any way, when marked i should be able to mach the lobes up with the exhaust cams that are allready in there

Same deal then, just make sure you get them pointing the right way or you'll regret it :D

yeh i know :p will crank the engine with a ratchet first to make sure theres no strange noises

Method I use is to eyeball the correct positions based on standard setup then just count the rivets between the lobes... Can't remember how many it is, 16 maybe but it's a nice simple method, way simpler than most of the ways i've read to do it on the net (which just confused me if I'm honest, made it seem way scarier than it really is.)

Put cams in facing same direction as before just hopefully a bit pointier.

Use degree wheel and DTI if you are really paranoid (or bored, I suppose)

cheers both will just match them up when i get them, will take photo's before and after to see what you lot think just to check i have it right :)

[barwel1992]

got the cam's the one says INF and the other INR so i assume F is front a R is rear :) but will double check
