Hi there
I'll be glad to have some advice
I've got to change my timing belt, but while doing it, I'm thinking about changing the camshaft for a better one.
My 245 have a B200E engine (don't know if it's available in USA)
Is there somebody who know whitch camshaft it use, and whitch camshaft can be put in replacement for more power/torque?

(sorry for my english)

    Both the A and B cam have been used in turbo engines by Volvo as well as the n/a engines. With the n/a engines you will get about a 10hp increase but the main difference is that you get an engine that revs more freely. Has a wide power band while still easily passing emissions.

    fyi ...i have a pristine B cam on the shelf i no longer can use since i have a 940 with head mounted distributor. the b cam is not machined for that diz setup.

    $40 for the cam plus ship at cost

    I don't know the specifics of camshafts that are in North American cars - or what your motor has - but generally the E specified motors make more power than our motors. - Dave
