MG ZR: Cams & Maps

[lolsteve]

MOT on April 9th so here's hoping she passes so I can get on with things now Combe is round the corner and uni deadlines are beginning to wrap up.

Sister is coming to visit on the 9th as well and hopefully she'll be bringing up my new janspeed manifold +decat pipe with her so I can get that put on and get someone to weld me on a universal sports cat

The UJ still needs changing, tried recently but the pin holding it in is stuck and I couldn't hit it with enough force to get it out

Reading more stuff online and it seems offset dowels are a thing with these as one of the main people for tuning these claims the vvc is about 4-6 degrees retarded so a dowel on both the inlet and exhaust cam would fix that, just need to find someone to make them since the guy has put out blueprints for people to make their own as he doesn't do it anymore.

Also have a spare exhaust cam lying around which piper used to regrind as a upgraded part but now just sell full replacements for higher dollar. Looking for a place now to regrind it as apparently it goes really well with the dowels.

Would like to at least get to combe with the janspeed,uj and maybe a map all on for combe as a warm up for the summer

Yes I did that but my bushes were healthy, it's the pins that go. Changing that made a huge difference.

When you intend to fit that joint, make sure the shaft is the same size! Before you cut...

Checked and it seems to match up fine
I gave the uj on there a push and the bushes seem like they've compressed so it can be pushed up n down and twisted alot
