KENT CAMS

[2 live]

sorry to the peeps iv recommended these to.




but DO NOT BUY KENT CAMS


the failure on mine was the same as martins old un.....same cams.same problem.


williams head now fukt......this is down to poor manufacturing/quality control/design of the cams in question. those of you to whom iv recommended these cams to..i apologise, but didnt know there was a design flaw in the cams, which kent arent interested in rectifying.

if you have these fitted......be wary

great.....

so what did they say mate ??

thought it was a problem with the bolt from renault ?

Im still fitting them in mine like....will have to see how they get on.

At least you now know what the problem was and its good to let everyone else know.

theyv said notrhing mate..wont reply to mails...get put on hold on fone

the thrust washer on the end of the cam has shattered...some staying on the cam, some breaking into bits........1 bit that has broken off has laid across the guide for the washer in the head, when the bit that hasnt broken off the cam has hit it, its gouged the head, and locked the cam up, the belt has kept turning the pulley, and bolt until the bolt has tightenend up that much it has sheered, then the pulley has just spun


so due to a manufacturing fault at kent, somewhere, metal fatigue or summat has occured, the part that has shattered is under no forces to cause it to shatter, so leaves only design/manufacture error.


needless to say i wont be using em again, or recommending em to anyone until they prove to me that they are looking at the problem and rectifying it

[FlamingMonkey]

Especially for blanks you would expect them to be top notch.
