Camshafts - where from?
 

After stripping my engine to find what was making the rattling/knocking sound i found no problem bare the camshafts, which i thought was lucky, but now i cant find any replacement ones online. Any idea where to get them from new or used?

But I'm sure someone on here must have a dead engine with cams going spare

Re: Camshaft
 

Which model are you looking for cams from?

Re: Camshaft
 

Sv650s k5

Front cylinder

Can't help with that model then I'm afraid. Good luck with the search.

Could try Robinson's foundry?

Suzuki dealers sell Suzuki parts.

Knackered camshafts, that's rare.

Re: Camshafts - where from?
 

And I can't imagine how the cams would go before the big ends.

I'd be looking a lot closer.

Were they starved of oil ?

Re: Camshafts - where from?
 

Yeah starved of oil, and everything fine except cam caps not the actual cams, the camps have gone slightly oval

Re: Camshafts - where from?
 

They are part of the head AFAIK

Re: Camshafts - where from?
 

So u can buy the removable cam caps seperate?

Re: Camshafts - where from?
 

I think the caps are part of the head. As in the head is made and then the camshaft journal is line bored as one piece. So the caps are not replaceable on their own.

If it's egg shaped the journal both halves of it will be stuffed anyway.


I am really surprised it hasn't knackered the big ends too.

No... see. Caps are not listed as discrete part. They are part of head.

Re: Camshafts - where from?
 

Cam caps are line bored with the head and aren't replaceable.

Agree about big ends, if the oil pressure dropped low enough for the cams to be starved the crank definitely will have too.
