SNAPPED INLET CAM

[Sammasson]

I've jut bought an engine with a snapped inlet cam, it snapped right next to the fuel pump cam, would it be just replace the cam or would there be more to it?

[DANBOY66]

i would put a cam in it and time it up then turn it over by hand to see if it spins freely

also check the both cam journals for scoring

[Sammasson]

That's what I thought just wasn't sure if it would of bent valves?

[DANBOY66]

until you turn it over you will not know

i removed a head the other day after an axx engine code tensioner chain had snapped quite badly it smashed the casing to bits and ripped a tooth of the exhaust cam sprocket

it never bent any valves i was amazed

Okay thanks

Is that the one off FB?.if so just replace the cam and that will see you right

when my chain snapped it didnt bend any valves.

Interesting to see two engines with snapped chains that didnt bend valves. Was your snap at idle as well @DANBOY66

I bought the car with the snapped chain so who knows it's made a mess of itself smashed itself to bits
