I am planning to do the cam as my next mod. Another stage zero task to finish the suspension and then I'll do the cam.
Don’t tempt me with a good time…I’ve been trying to find the valve shims so I can do that at the same time as the cam as the car is my only vehicle and ideally I’d rather not have it down for a couple days waiting on shims from ipd.
If they still rent the shim kit that is a good way to do the job. You pay them and they send you the whole shim kit. You use what you need and pay for those shims. You get the main cost returned. The deposit is the expensive part.
Yeah I didn’t see it on the site. I can always call them. The backyard mechanic in me was also just debating sending it since it’s a non-interference motor….but then I also thought I could replace all the hushers and redo the clearances all nice. Kind of want to use the car as my adventure rig for now
That's no excuse because the B cam is also non interference. lol Yes, do all that good stuff while you are in there. Makes for a good day. Manual trans cars especially need an engine that makes more high rpm torque.
Oh sweet!!! Would definitely be interested to minimize downtime!My shim kit is currently in Maine. Unfortunately it needs to come back to California to be restocked before I can send it out again. I supply it with 5 of each size shim (other kits only have 4) and more sizes than Volvo offered, OE Volvo hushers, a pair of dental pics, a telescoping magnet, bucket depressor and seal installer as well as a free solid dowel pin. Lash caps are optional as no one has needed them yet.The cam holder tool on the left and cam gear counterhold tool on the right have been sold.
