MG ZR: Cams & Maps

[procta]

Fella you've gotta grow yourself some balls and whip the head off, completely strip and rebuild it with the correct torques and a polish while you're there. With the rebuilt head, the manifold, a full service inc plugs/leads/dizzy cap etc, when the vvc kicks in you should feel the pick up and hopefully have your horses back

Lend me a torque wrench and some axle stands then Started reading into the whole vvc timing thing last night as I've avoided it for ages since apparently its very tricky, in truth it doesnt seem to bad once the cam ladder is off just a case of being careful and not rushing it. Would need help doing it though if just to get the belts off and check over what I've done, also found a guide to refurbing the tappets

Like I said refurb the whole head, you will feel the torque difference

he'd be better off getting a second hand head to or sent away to be refurbd and get a decent garage or mate to fit it for him.
