Ask Me,
Virginia
This is a non-dsm question, but the expertise is so high here, the Focus SVT community is not as strong, and I am comfortable here....
It is not as bad as it sounds but it could be.
History:
I bent the valves on my FSVT when doing a timing belt job due to a failed OEM ford tensioner coming apart.
I grabbed the valves, springs, bucket tappets (pain in the neck) from a junk head that was warped and put them into my old head that worked just fine.
Problems:
I left the project for many months and I am not sure which cam caps go to which head. I did mark the order though.
So as it sits, I have a 50/50 chance of getting it right by guessing which set is which.
I am also not completely sure which set of cams is which. In the DSM world I don't think this would matter much. As a matter of fact, I'd assume that most of us would take advantage of that and use dial calipers on the cams and/or see which was less worn.
I am not bringing this to a machine shop. Not around here anyways.
What would you do?
Thanks!
