Cams disintegrating

[Jabbah]

Main options are Andy at APM or a TVR Power rebuild with the 3 year warranty. Any others?

[Jabbah]

Is it worth doing anything else on top of replacing the camshafts though? I expect it is an engine out job, so what else should I consider doing whilst it is out?

[Jabbah]

No ideas. Engine has done 55k though.

Presume you're doing the buckets with the cams?

I haven't managed to talk to anybody about it properly yet, but that makes sense.

I also believe that Dom uses Andy for a lot of his AJP work so they are mostly the same option.

Yeah, that's what my garage said. I was thinking more straight to Andy for just the cam work, or to Dom for a full rebuild with the warranty... Cams only / Full rebuild ?

could be slighty worse

Ouch yeah that looks nasty. Did that happen whilst the engine was running?

[Jabbah]

As the cams can be done with the engine in and in general it seems pretty solid I'm just going to go down that route. Question now is how safe is it to drive 40 miles? It looks like it isn't brand new damage, so on the one hand it probably won't make much difference to drive another 40 miles on it, on the other it could be just about to get worse. Would you get it trailered?
