I want to put kent pt51 so its important to know whats going on....any ideas how to find that out....i also was told that the compression test numbers are very high for a std vts engine and probably the compression is raised. ..
Forgive me if i'm wrong but won't you have to take the head off to fit the cam/s due to clearance issues getting them out?In which case you'd have to fit a new head gasket & cambelt etc.Unless of course you removed an engine mount & jacked the engine up to get clearance?
