Yeh, it is the only way I think. But the point I was making is it's a bit OTT just to save a few ££ | |

Would be a way to definetely tell a mint one though. Can't think of any other way. | |

For what it's worth, i'd put your hand in your pocket and buy a brand new one. | |

If you were really that bothered I think the only way to properly check it would be with a DTI or similair suitable measuring eqipment. | |

Is there a way to tell a good 2nd hand one, to a worn 2nd hand one? I understandabout blue, or very worn lobes, but how to tell a mint one? As a new one from vaux is over 200quid! and a 2nd hand one is about 30 quid lol! | |

normally see around 10bhp from it. probably better choice than most aftermarket cams out there really. | |

no problem had the magazine to hand anyway :). most people set vernier to 7 degrees retarded approx half a tooth but as said to get most rollers would be best bet | |

Scott, I was thinking of doin it, but to get the most out of it, i need it set up on the rollers, which i cant do. | |

autmumn 2007 issue 76. REsults shown from mag were an increase of approx 20bhp and 47lb/ft, but bearing in mind car used was said to of had a healthy engine so would vary on car/engine condition | |

think the best way to do it is run it with a venier (sp) then you can dial it in better, think the gains are about 7-10bhp but i may be wrong | |

Can anyone remember which months total vauxhall had the guide to this, and what bhp increase it was proven to have gained? Thinking about doin this as the next step. ;) |
