keep it simple :cheers: you can retard/advance the cam like mentioned but i think its alot more than 6 degrees. i personally would use a better cam and fit the correct way as this would give a power increase (the adjustment may not). give it some timing adjustment using the tdc sensor (if required)...

thanks

cheers
will give this a go ,need the right camshaft now .

To be honest exhaust manifold is completly rubish. 1st: it's on the same side as inlet manifold so air is a little bit warmer 2nd: it's so curved and takes a some power from engine but I think it looks as it does cause Volvo wanted more torquey engine. When I looked a little closer I see that F3P i...

I doubt it because burning chamber is in cylinder in both cylinder heads. Only difference may be in timing. Maybe inlet/outlet canals are different. Swaping them may be so-so. I think Haz knows more details about these cylinder heads ;) you might be right , ayee,haz seems to know a lot about renaul...
