Yeah I bought it for my xmas present haha

slash dreams

But of an awesome update ... little progress but I feel like I've achieved greatness. \
Managed to get it up by myself while the Mrs watched. Seems a re-occurring issue



Leppa, I would be keen to get your ideas wisdom help etc on Thursday if you're still keen?
Maybe start breaking it down?

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.

He's good at taking things apart all right!

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.

Head shop p north are really good sent my Datsun heads cams to them Brendon hartleys dads shop gc also csl cams is good place also in pamly
