hi
I posted a while ago about changing the heads on my P6. Unfortunately that has had to be put by the wayside until I have the free cash to replace them....restoring houses is more expensive that I had allowed. I have however decided to do some work. I have a new water pump and uprated oil pump bits to fit. While I am doing that I am going to adapt the timing cover to accept a neoprene seal. Having decided to do that I thought I may as well change the camshaft and timing gear at the same time. I was going to fit a 3.9 camshaft from V8Tuner but have been told it will increase torque but was not the best upgrade for a P6. I have read quite a few posts about cam changes including fitting a standard cam which given the wear rate on a V8 may be an improvement but I was wondering what the best cam to fit would be for all round performance. I am not looking for a sports car but just the best all round and simplest improvement over and above what I have now. I will be replacing the heads in due course but not immediately. Thanks.
