no...the 90# springs are harder on the chain because of their spring rate CURVE. the 105# are a better choice.

i thought you were going turbo??????

 

[minichopper6hp]

I was, but things came up. I needed more money to finish the turbo setup and now things have changed where i wont have that money. So i sold all the turbo stuff and am keeping the s/c with i/c and cam. Ill still be very happy with this.

atleast you wont have to be replacing trans every 4 months.

S1X is also a pretty mild cam.

 

[TorqueAutoMotiv]

yes and a good cam from what i can tell so far

 

[minichopper6hp]

How do you like your s1x? I may go that route instead...

 

[GeosGP]

I have wondered if I want to attempt a cam change while doing the top swap.

 

[Spartan GL]

i should of did a cam while i was replacing my engine, tore through it anyway to replace all gaskets and seals.

maybe in the future.

granted he is running 'race' gas, but the s1x is no slouch. it has more midrange than the xp does and has been shown to make similar power levels.

while youre in there it's pretty easy. no lies.

Am I lifting the engine up, or dropping it down for a cam swap?

 

[Bio248]

your LOOSENING the cradle bolts to drop it down just enough to slide the cam in. you already have the balancer off, so taking off the front cover is just a few more bolts. if you drop the cradle too far then you have to worry about putting your steering rack back in which is a pain in the butt to say the least.
