2l Pinto Tappets

[Guest stevenmjcooper]

Hi, just a few bits that may be useful to know before solving my problem

 

2l Pinto

Stage 3 Head

Twin 45 Dohc Carbs

Lightened Fly wheel

 

When I bought the car I was informed that it also had a kent cam, My uncle checked the settings and they were incorrect to the Standard settings in the haynes manual. So he set them back

 

Now I seem to have lost alot of power from before although the fuel economy has improved.

 

Should the settings be the same with a stage 3 and a different cam? If so how will I know what to set these back too? as I have no details of the cam

 

Any help / advise will be much apreciated

tappets should be (haynes -valve tip) 0.25mm exhaust, 0.20mm inlet

 

I personally use 0.20mm exhaust and 0.15mm inlet, and am using a Kent FR22 cam,

no problems at all

There are identification letters, usually, on the gearbox end of the cam. Kent have in the past responded quickly to an email from me asking them to identify a cam and provide timing and tappet settings.
