Re: Camshafts and/or Pulleys for sale
My 2nd hand opinions, recalling what a close pal with S1 had to say on cams assuming the car, purchased back around '81, has the C type. With the stock wheels assembled at 110 MOP the car would wind

Re: Upgrading points
I found the Lumenition utterly reliable and able to deliver what my Elan tall block TC with cams needed, on road or track. So why replace on the Esprit?

Re: Camshafts and/or Pulleys for sale
Bill, The stock Jensen-Healeyl 907 used two C-cams. What vintage? Early engines were timed with 115 MOP pulleys for emissions. They were never used on any other 9XX, and later J-H followed the Lotus

Re: Camshafts and/or Pulleys for sale

Re: Camshafts and/or Pulleys for sale
Ian, I don't have either an E-cam or 110 pulleys for you, but... What is your preference for how the engine will run? Do you prefer higher performance at the top of the rev range, or milder manners/

Re: Is the timing belt an engine-out procedure?
EXCELLENT to see the shop Flat Rate hours. Thanks Tim. I think someone in the UK bragged that they could do the timing belt in 20 minutes from underneath. Sounds like a really professional job¡.

If they aren¡¯t sure what they¡¯re doing then removing the engine is a straight forward but time consuming way to make sure they do the job right. Your paying extra for their desire to do it right

Have done the timing belt in situ on my s2 a few times in my 18 years of ownership and that¡¯s without a pit or lift. Does help to be limber though !
