Are 911 cam towers worth anything. I looked on ebay and they run the gammit but none have sold for a while. Is there a particular type that is worth more than others? what should i look for. Are they worth $20.00 a set? Let me know.

They last a long time. If you're building a 3.4L motor the 3.2L towers are better because the later cam bearing journals are bigger than the 3L versions.

Good luck!

I am pretty sure they are all earlier versions. Is there an easy way to tell the 3.2 ones? If there is I will go through them and save those. Looks like most are scrap though.

You might give EBS a call. They might need some good cores.
