All sorted after new cam

[MADMAX2]

Panic over!!' after a few small adjustments timing and throttle pot the car runs like a dream ... Now where's the sun gone?

[chrisdurham]

hey, was it badly worn?

[MADMAX2]

No because t wasnt the original cam.. I bought the car had done 72,000 miles it's now done 102,000 sometime before I had it there was a cam change because what came out of the engine had an adjustable vernier and TVR didn't factory make them but the cam does have TVR stamped on the side.. I now have it polished on my desk stand..,

The HC400 & 500 came factory fitted with the Vernier chances are it was the original cam, mine is motor as never been apart and as big mileage but was used instead of idling & town mileage all its life never had as much as a valley gasket it can be done glad you got it running nice
