#1 swapping cams
jasol Posted on: 2010/1/10 9:17
im doing this in oposite i know but i wish to swap my big cam back to a standard one as i need to use it as a dailey its an l20b, it has an adjustable sprocket to, can i use this with the standard cam? as that would make the swap easier

ad will it be as simple as keeping the timing chain inplace, swap cams and away it goes or do i need to worrie about TDC?

Sometimes the camwheel is put in to allow adjustment after the cylinder head's face has been machined excessively to raise compression. It shouldn't break anything if you leave it on the same adjustment and put a standard (lower lift) cam in it's place.
Sometimes putting big cams in required other things to be modified. Be careful of that.

Don't reuse the lifters, even if they are fairly new.

Use new lifters, or the original lifters that came with the original cam if you saved them.
