camshaft and pistons

Post by mgarageu » 25 Sep 2006 08:00 pm

have not looked yet which letter marked is its camshaft. is there any possibility to avoid interference by replacing the camshaft or are the pistons the bad boys?

Your cam should be an Y-cam, one step below A, try find a V-cam or K.
Personally I would go for a V-cam on the 2liter engine.

Piston noise when cold is normal in B200. B2x0 series engines are so called "low friction engines", some changes were made compared to B19,B21,B23 series engines to lower the fuel consumption etc.. but those changes weren't as good for the structural strength as they were for economy.. :P
