    may as well stick a cam on it while the head is off. if you can find one second hand it wont cost you much at all. also, get an mk3 downpipe on there beyond that, dont bother.

    alright cheers ill have a ring around about a cam, and i've heard about changing it over to the bigger downpipe, are the euro spec downpipes still constrictive or is it just the aussie ones, its an 87 south af car

    cheers

    87 South African car should have the good downpipe and probably a good cam.

    And incidentally a big valve head

    So are you doing the head yourself?

    I had never worked on a car before and I did this exact job for my first go.

    Mine runs very sweet now.

    I took all mine off. You just need a socket set and some hex bits.

    I have the head serviced by a place.
