Leppa came around over the weekend and we stripped that a12 engine. Pistons had broken top rings and the dizzy cog on the cam is chipped. Leppa seemed to think that the cam hasn't been worked which kind of sucks but we didn't have any measurement to compare.

Any body know the original cam measurements.
When measuring the lob do I measure the lob lift and base circle together?

Also on the cam there is marked "CSL 132F 03 - MATT"
Thinking CSL = CSL automotive?

Leppa is a machine ... engine was stripped in seconds.

Hi Tony,
Comprehensive list, More money needed at a quick glance,
Also some of the improvements will need certifying.
Up our way that is a minimum of $500.00.
My advice would be do all the certifiable things at the same time and THEN get certified ONCE.
