i got a correct one on for sale section.......in blue

Good news Rich mate.... most welcome news

File it, but file the dizzy end not the cam, the cams will be hardened and will take you forever!
Great advice........Thank you Alan

Just spoke to Doug and he reckons that you should have no prob if u file it down.
Thanks Rich....tis a lil strange one and am hoping Steve will get back to me after speaking ot Adam of whom i got the head from
One helpful tip was to not file the camshaft but the distributer as would be easier and save redoing the cambelt again and less chance of any swarf getting into the head
( on another note,,,,,, guess what i found yesterday .... yup u guessed it the throttle body stay !! bloody typical... ill hold on to it and pass when i see you or know when someone else may be seeing you
though obviously if you need it the give me a hollar
Thanks for the info sir
and hope she be up and running soon... but then saying that i want to be up and running soon too lol

Good Morning everyone or anyone actually
The probem I purchased a very low milage head for my 165 off a running 165 which came with cams all intalled, not touched in head removal and still set up just as per running car
The head is an 8000 mile head that was purchased new from Germany, though i have no info as of yet, (am trying to get more info to aid in this but as problem has only just manifested itself and having to go through 3rd party then may take a few days) i dont know if the cams were bought and installed at the same time
The trouble is the distributer will not fit into the slot on the end of the cam as looks like a 1/2 -1/4 mm to narrow on the cam ( i tried it 180 degrees round as well just to check in case it only goes in one way )
Now there is a possibility of it being a TTE head so maybe non standard cams? but i would not of thought that this would involve a different dizzy
An option (which is a valid question no matter how stupid it may sound but i dont have the answer hence the asking) would/could be ....Can i file the extra 1/4 mm in the cam locating recess to facilitate the dizzy installation???
Do you think this woud be a problem and if so in what way?
The only other alternative i can see would be changng the cams to different cams ie the ones that origainally cam out of "Ezzy"
I did try the dizzy on Ezzy's old cam and it fits onto there and I beleive Steve and Mike tried to gt the dizzy to fit on the new head with the other cams all to no avail so that eliminates my stupidity
I need to manage this quite quickely whilst the engine is out of the car as would make cambelt resetting up a lot easier if the engine is out
Any ideas would be most grateful
Thanks
Chris
