well for the price of getting my current ones cleaned will it not be much more just to get new larger ones?
i think for 210cc theyre $40 each so $240 its not too bad unless theres something else as well thats going to have to be chnaged that im missing?

I wouldn't even bother cleaning them! I just took a set of 6 out of 1992 TX5 (my daily shitbox driver car thats done over 330,000kms) down to be cleaned & wasted $280 bucks! They were 0.02% restricted on the worst one

Just out of curiosity what duration and lift are the cams youre getting?

They only have 2 listings
Both 304 degree duration on the Mivec lobes, the lower spec one is 10.5 & 10.1mm lift on intake & exhaust (Mivec lobes) the bigger one is 11.3 & 10.8 (in / ex)
Only slight changes in the low rpm lobe duration.

mine are custom bennoz...
he said their fouling (i think thats the word) 10 degrees on the mivec cam and 20 degrees on the lower cam...
it couldve been the other way around cant remember been while when they told me!

the wait is whats been killing me!
been 3 months now since i first placed the order and im only getting the cams next week haha very poor service.
but im pumped!
oh and heres a description RPW of the cam profile that we're using.
"They will differ by the low rpm cams will be much more aggressive, so rougher idle, but less drop in power between when it comes on and off mivec. The higher rpm profile has more overlap and alittle more duration, but nothing massivly larger. The low rpm acceleration should now be stronger and the torque should be much higher. You would probably find the mivec point will be lifted to a higher rpm due to the nature of the low rpm camshaft profile.
I don't have the actual specs on hand yet but we are using Jun profiles similiar to what is used on teh 4G92 Mivec camshafts"
that sounds so so so so good
more torque yes!!!!
i cant wait its killing me!

I hope the Mivec point isn't shifted to high, and you do get the decent smooth delivery promised.
Will be a very impressive setup when done.
