I've been offered a 89 cylinder head, but there seems to be abit of an issue whether it would work with a 1994 models camshalfs.
QuoteFrom engine number 114497 onwards the clearance was opened up to a theoretical 1 mm by taking 0.5 mm off the head casting and the same amount off the end of the camshaft. This clearance was shimmed up with a 1 mm shim to give "almost no clearance when cold"-the theory being that differential rates of expansion between the cylinder head and the camshaft would produce working clearance once the motor was warm "
Parts listings on CSMNL indicate that this may have been around 1997.
However, part numbers for camshafts are the same from 1989 to 1999 which contadicts what I've found so we're still looking for opinions folks
So I'm just wondering if anyone on here can shed any light on it?
Oh yea, 94 had these unique cams, they were oil tracked and self aligning, much like those self levelling suspensions ... In fact you dont want anything older than 5 years ... Yea ...
Fine being serious ... 94 = 89 and 89-00 is all same except for color.
Cool.
