    Camshaft Gear Drives

    I am surprised at the advise not to run a gear set, although I have never run anything but duplex true roller, I thought the cam timing would be more accurate with a gear set, however I am not keen on the noise they make, but the car I would be putting this engine in will most likely have a...

Can anyone provide some links...

    MGF ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING

    I think you will find the MGF EAPS difficult to adapt to another application for a couple of reasons, firstly the assistance is controlled by the main ECU, and unless your steering is exactly the same in as much as the geometry is concerned it just won't connect. However if you look at the...
