Budget Cam??

[StinkinLincoln]

I'm going to go for broke and Cam my 227k Mile F22A6 For a little more attitude...I want to get a Delta 260 or 272 Regrind and I don't want to replace springs.. I don't want to go with Bisi because the price..I'm trying to be as cheep as possable..

Yes I might pop the motor...No I don't care!!

I have a H22 I can get I'f needed...Plus I still heve the spare F22a1 in the yard..

What are the things needed to replace when changing the cam?? I need a parts list...

Thanks..and keep the "Your Dumb Ass" comments to your self...

if you want to be as cheap as possible then there is nothing else you need besides the cam itself. but it is a good idea to get a valve cover gasket set and replace the spark plug tube seals, you dont have to but you will definitely have oil in your spark plug tubes if you dont replace the seals when you change the cam.

I want to be cheep but smart about changing the cam..

so...

Spark Plug Tube Seals.
Valve Cover Gasket. (already on list)

What about the bearings the cam rides on??

Anything else??

There are no bearings for the cams.

replace:
-upper tube seals
-lower tube seals
-valve cover gasket
-cam seal
-timing belt
-water pump
-oil pump seal
-balance shaft seal(with retainer if you don't have one already)
-remove balance shaft belt


Get the 272. You'll definitely need to get tuned though.

No cam bearings.. what does the cam sit on?? Retainers or somthing ??

Never did a Cam Swap...

[StinkinLincoln]

So springs are not needed with the 272??? I know they are REC with any cam swap..But who here uses Stockers With a 272 Regrind???

[d112crzy]

I used stockers with a 282 just fine.

Do you think its really safe to remove the Balance Shaft Belt with 227k on her?? Is the power worth it??

[d112crzy]

It has no negative effects.

How do I remove the Balance Shaft Belt ?? If I was to go home a do it after work ?? How long would it take ??

About the same amount of time to do a timing belt job. (which is when you would usually eliminate the Balance Shaft)
