Recommended Posts

my L28E-head was at local engine builder.they shaved 0,25mm and grinded new valve seats. BUT the removed the camshaft bearing from the head. I read at the engine manueal that these parts doesnt have to be removed?!?! the cam towers are centered with sleeves. so it shold be possilbe to make it like it was before??? someone can tell me tightening torque of the cam towers?

 

i read in this forum, if i shave to much from head, i have to use spacers under the cam towers. but this will mean to remove it. I`am little confused

 

are 0,25mm (0.01") to much without cam tower spacers? do i have to use such once now??

I think the thinnest spacers are 0.015". The cam towers can be realigned with a mallet and cam installed to check for binding as discussed in several manuals (not the factory one.)

 

You should be able to get them back on there and working just fine.
