[Healeys] Another engine rebuild

Many thanks to all responded to my Tricarb engine question.
Consensus seems that there is no big difference in power output using the
standard cam or the BJ8 one. I first thought the BJ8 one will set more horses
free. So I will do the rebuild with what I have, dynamic balancing the
crankshaft together with damper, flywheel and clutch assembly. I do not want
to lighten the flywheel, as this would be a one way road and I like to keep
original parts in genuine shape. Maybe that give me less responsive engine, as
with lightened flywheel, but I am not a racer. So can live with that.
Thanks again to all suggestions.

Betreff: [Healeys] Another engine rebuild


 I am doing an engine rebuild on a 62 BT7 Tricarb engine. The car will be
restored to concours condition. So no visual modification should be done at
the engine; carbs, distributer to orig. spec. etc. To get max.
power/torque out of the engine, is it better to stay with the original
camshaft or to put in the BJ8 camshaft or other available. What is the best to
do?
Many thanks for all opinions.
