Post by sexyL »

out of a U60 head, stock L20b head, or out of an A87 head; which cam would you pick? i don't really know the differences.

For this to even be worthwhile, you'd have to at least know they were all original cams for the heads.
Because when you spend a silly amount of money on a silly, trivial thing that will help you not one jot, you are demonstrating that you have a soul and a heart and that you are the sort of person who has no time for Which? magazine. – Jeremy Clarkson

U-60 and A-87 heads were used on early L20B motors and may, may,have an earlier cam profile. I would want a definite L20B cam so look at U-67 or W58 heads. The L20B cam usually has these casting 'bumps' in the very middle of the cam. (top one)
