Well I guess I'll swap the two and see what happens. They look the same, just not sure if the valves are different. We shall see
That's what i was hoping for, I have the A cam already out, will install it in the 151 head. Is it really that simple...meaning just remove the cam and then reinstall it. anything special about reinstalling as far as where the lobes end up? or will that be addressed when the cam pulley is back on and I adjust the timing mark back to the groove. Thanks. Dennis
I knew that Eduardo couldn't stand by for too long!
Eduardo, you do know that you're my V/P OHC guru, don't you?
Yes, it's as simple as that. There is a special tool you can use (9995921-4) to make the camshaft installation easier, but you can do without it with no problems.
Ok took the head apart and found some unexpected stuff, first, I need to have a machine shop fill a few divets then resurface. Second pulled all the valves and on the intake valves, there was some orange rust (wiped right off), the cam was a V which I plan on swapping with the A from my old head. Can I also swap valves and use a lapping compound to reseat? The block itself is good, no cracks, etc. just needs to be cleaned and I want to have it resurfaced to remove the small corrosion spots.
