Technical Seicento 866 Camshaft fitment *HELP!!!*

[curtisjwc1]

Anyone in the northumberland or leicestershire areas fitted an 866 cam in a seicento or able to recommend someone that can as my garage deal with hydraulic tappets, and not shims.

Please recommend somewhere/one experienced and reasonably priced

Thanks

You'll also need someone with a timing disc.

any decent garage should be able to do this really, its just a matter of measuring with a feeler gauge and getting the right size shims. suggest you ask a different place if you aren't upto taking it on yourself.

Just to let you all know, i got sorted with a little help form 'MrFixIt' himself (David Young) did a great job and for a reasonable price too

Stripped head, skimmed, ported and polished inlets and exhaust ports, port matched the exhaust manifold and installed the 866 cam (along with other things). Its safe to say i can tell the difference

Did you use a vernier/stepped dowel to get the timing right?
