N/A camshaft XUD

Post by Philip Chidlow »

I assume it's n/a from the meagre description. It's from a ZX but guess (if it is from a n/a) it might be of interest to TZD Turbo owners who want a bit more power?

Hi Phil

It will be of NO use to a BX owner due to the HP pump drive feature being totally different on the ZX engines as that just has a slot to drive the the vacuum pump IIRC !

There was forum member who went thro' all this pain (Without realising the differences of using engines/camshaft from NON BX models) heres the THREAD and the WANTED thread !

:mrgreen:

Fair enough. If for nothing else, lets hope my post prevents someone else making the same mistake.

Might be useful (say) for any ZX owners who were considering putting a BX TD engine in though... ;)

If you do go down that route though Phil, you'll need to remove the blanking plug on the gearbox end of the head, in order to supply oil to the ZX vacuum pump.
