Trent-KE30 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Posted December 20, 2007 Hey guys building a tough little 4K in my run around every day KE55, got the bottem end done I have a spare 3K cam lying around i want to send away and get regrind, will it fit my 4K? are they identical? Cheers Trent Quote
Redwarf Posted December 20, 2007 Report Posted December 20, 2007 If you regrind a 3K cam, yes it will fit into a 4K. They're close enough to identical. Quote
madrolla68 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Posted December 20, 2007 Just make sure you check the end float of the cam ,SOME of them have wider rear cam journals and they rub on the cam plug causing premature wear ad failure of the thrust plate. MAtt Quote
Felix Posted December 20, 2007 Report Posted December 20, 2007 3k cams have a wide rear journal. I'm not sure about all 4k's, but I do know that the later dished piston 4k's and 5k's have narrow rear cam journals. As madrolla said, check for end float to be sure. Quote
Redwarf Posted December 20, 2007 Report Posted December 20, 2007 (edited) ^^^^^^^^^ Well there we go. 15 years of playing with 3K's and I've honestly just learnt something. :lolcry: Store that one up. Disregard previous comment. Edited December 20, 2007 by Redwarf Quote
