So I have a 2.2 T and 2.4 T engine. I can't come up with the cash for new S spec P&Cs right now. The short term plan was to use the 2.2 case (2.4 case needs more work) and the 2.4 crank, rods, P&Cs and whichever heads looked the best. Am I stuck with the T cams or can I get some more power with different cams?

The problem is going to mostly be the piston clearance.
you can grind valve pockets somewhat... but you may have to stick with the T cams until you buy different pistons. its one of those things that you won't really 100% know if they can fit until you assemble. (kinda like big tires on a narrow bodied car) The 2.2 pistons will give you higher compresson, but won't help the clearance a bit. The 2.4 pistons might give you more wiggle room, but which ones are worn out? |
