HPFP Cam Follower Issues

[Poppa Dom]

I have 3 you can have Matt, not much wear on any of them

That's because of how often you've changed them 

[SteveP]

Changing mine tomorrow so will have a very worn one spare

Pm inbound Gaz   it's a mate of mine who has a cnc machine and this laser machine that takes all the info from the normal part and then he can make it on the cnc machine and make it out of whatever he thinks is better for the job

thats the problem, finding a suitable material, it has to be hard but not harder than the cam material, because although we don't like worn followers its their job. Its much better to have the follower wear than the cam, not ideal but by design its what we have

^^^ That's why I don't like the idea of the KMD one, it says it made of the same grade material as the cam  

I am going to stick with regular replacements of the OEM one

me too, regular oil and follower changes for me, can do them in no time now

Worth an ask I think

Amazingly the lads have the engine out and with the engine builder already 



I think I may have got away without damage to the cam, just dont know how far the bits went so stripping it down.

I've seen pictures of worn ones but never like that 

Also ordered one of these

But it's got ur favourite company on it!!! 

[gazbutS3]

would be rude not to uprate a few internals while its in bits Neil, or at least blueprint it

[vRSAlex]

Engine out

It should be fine with just a cam change.  The follow bits tend to stay in the end case so hopefully the rest of the lump is fine.

Uprated rods whilst it's out and then ..... And then .....
