Cerbera 4.2 Parts for Cam Fitting

[peter_melichar]

Hi guys,
My indie is fitting new camshafts to my 1997 Cerbera 4.2. TVR have got the cam shafts but the factory is apparently out of stock on the washers, plugs and circle clips that are needed to fit the cams.

Any thoughts where I could get these from other than TVR directly ?

Many tx

It doesn't matter if they're out of stock of those items as none of them are needed when fitting cams .. you need:

2 cams
16 followers

.. erm that's it!

oh, tx....my technical understanding of the AJP engine obviously shined through there -

thanks !

Is your indie a cerb/TVR specialist?

Looks like no.

gosh - I need to change my cerbera dictonary. I have always associated the term 'indie' with independant mechanics who have loads of experience with TVRs/Cerbs and who specialise in the servicing and fixing of them.

sounds like you need the blanking plugs for the rear of the cams,i'll have a look in the morning to see if i've got any left.

All the cams ive ever fitted had them in already .. is this a cunning way of saving money at the factory? .. or just take them out of the cams you're changing?

The cams I just bought didn`t have them in but they did supply them.

looked this morning and have 1 spare set ie 4 clips 4 o rings and 4 plugs if you still need them mail me through my profile and i can arrange to post them cheers andy

[peter_melichar]

Andy, many thanks for your help. Yes, I would still require the parts. My only question is whether this 1 set will be sufficient for to fit both cams ? I mailed you my contact details through your profile. Looking forward to your reply.

tx

As a matter of fact my indie is a TVR specialist and has tons of experience with the AJP engine. He's been servicing my Cerb for years (when still with previous owner) and for the period of my ownership (since Feb05) I have not had a single problem with the car. Would absolutely recommend the chap, especially for people who need good TVR servicing at a reasonable price in London. No need to change your 'dictionary' in any ways.
