Just wondered if you guys had any opinions on the cam wear versus not revving above 3000 rpm, if not only thing left is the ECU as everything else is new

Finally dragged the white Touring out of storage with the intention of getting the running ( revving) issues sorted out. As we speak my mate is getting into the engine to replace the cam, lifters, rockers, cambelt kit etc etc as old cam is extremely worn and sounds worse than a Transit !!!!

All sorted, as well as cam being worn and one lifter that had collapsed it didnt really help that someone in the near past ( shortly before I bought it ) had fitted a new cambelt and timed it up about three light years out. Now runs and revs as it should and doesnt rattle now

Giving it the love it deserves now, had a quick clean and polish but am going to give it a full clay bar and wax very soon. Using as much as possible now, took it to Santa Pod on Sunday and have to say got a fair bit of attention in the Show and Shine area where it was parked all day.
