have i got cams??

[BoJay]

this mite seem like a stupid question, but how would i beable to tell if i have cams. because when i bought it the lad said that it does have them (and people say anythin just to sell stuff) and that it has been remapped, but im not 100% sure. its a vts and it does seem a vey fast car, but i want to know if it does or doesnt have cams so i know what modification to do next.

ive been told that the engine sounds lumpy if you have cams, is this true for all cams.

any helpful info will be repped

take the cam over off and have a look, easiest way.

I think the engine can only sound lumpy and idle wrong etc if you cam the car but don't get a re-map done or a proper one at least... Thats why you get the map when you've had cams as far as i know...

[BoJay]

what would i be lookin for to idicate ive had cams, if i took the cam cover off

[dannygti]

every saxo vts has cams:p
if you take the cam covers off then on the end there should be a part number of some sort.
did the previous owner say what brand cams they were?

[bullit]

as said numbers, digits etc stamped on ends

[BoJay]

i rang him and he just said they were piper cams....when i get the digits and numbers etc what should i do then? or will it say if they were standard vts cams or piper cams etc

[alextoffie]

One things for sure, if you asked the guy you bought it off "does it have cams" and he's said yes he's telling the truth!

Whether it has aftermarket / uprated cams is a different story :)

[bullit]

you should see on the ends BP285 or similar

[dannygti]

phone piper up then tell them the numbers/letters and theyll give you the spec of the cams.

My brother's VTS runs really lumpy and quite noisy, could this also mean it might have upgraded cams but no remap?

[bullit]

doubt it. thats how they run lol

[jablitt]

does he not have any reciepts or anything written to prove it??

[VTR-Chris-VTR]

doubt it. thats how they run lol

Lol i no TBH it runs like a piece of crap, needs a proper service

Anyway better get bk on topic :y:

[RICKYP-RPM]

i've just been offered some piper 285 cam's but there are no markings on them so this would sugest that they are only standard cam's?

[BoJay]

theres no reciepts for the cams, but theres no reciepts for other mods either. il just have to get my hands dirty tomorrow and have a look
