I gave them my VIN and my old mans FG MK2 LPG ute VIN and they both came up with the same Camshafts! Then the guy said they were the same through all the series and models. Also some BF mk2 are the same. yep must be unlucky I guess. Only done 70k kms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BF2 did not get duo phased cams are per FG and niether did the lpg engines. Ford have probably discontinued the BF/LPG cam Part Number hence one size now fits all. They did the same thing with the engine/trans cooler piping in the b series cars. BF2 non thermostat no oil cooler piping was the same part number as the BF1/FPV setup with the trans thermostat and engine oil cooler. The piping in reality was vastly different. If I was you I'd talk to Brad at atomic and see what he can do cam wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rollers are most likely damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I'm used to seeing the build dates written in month and year, due to discussions about BF engines from 06/06 getting stronger rods (that's June 2006).

crazyxa Member 84 Member For: 17y 11m 8d Posted 24/02/18 11:46 PM Share Posted 24/02/18 11:46 PM Hey guys given this thread also applies to me I thought it would best to post here for continuity.My FG Turbo with 88,000km (running Nulon full Syn 10w40 since 50,000km) has developed a tapping noise from the cam cover. This has gotten worse / more pronounced recently, so could not be ignored. As seen and heard here in my vid. After removal of cam cover I found a badly damaged lobe on the inlet cam cylinder 1.Timing looked ok, spring looks good and even the roller/follower still rolls and looks ok.So what are my options? Obviously it’s a new inlet cam. What are the must do’s, like do I need to replace all followers when fitting a new cam, I assume so. What else needs doing?Or is a second hand cam with all its followers an option also.Also do people think the cause is just poor manufacturer?Thanks in advance.

The followers seem to hold up ok and may not need changing It's a heat treatment issue at manufacture. The wear is caused by rolling contact fatigue then spalling and lost material Get some new cams or atomic stage 3 equivalent It's not the oil that was used Edited 25/02/18 01:22 AM by arronm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
