Yes, this is correct. As Chris mentioned, we both wait for parts. They 'should' be here in 3 weeks time or so... considering X-Mas backlog of all mail worldwide...um...I'll better shut up. Anywho, what I am waiting for is the right pressure plate and manifold. Once these two arrive, the motor goes ...

With lift as high as what the cams are currently, I wonder if the valve reliefs will have to be increased in depth/diameter.... but the cams were based around the X20XEV which has a stock compression of 10.8:1....... so there is a good chance we will be ok with the lower T20SED compression. Chris, ...

Find out about the hydraulic grind and the possibility of purchasing blanks. No need (or use) in saying "I'm interested" in a cam that is too big for what I want. Regrinds often take material away from the base circle to increase lift. Regrinds are relatively cheap but are restricted to similar lob...

I'm definitely interested in the cams Chris!

In my setup I won't be using a cam sensor because the engine is going into a 1992 Sunbird. This car didn't need the cam sensor as I'm sure you already know.

Will valve reliefs need to be changed on the pistons in a T20SED for this cam upgrade?

Can anyone tell me what the little holes in the exhaust ports are for on the opel heads.. They are right at the bottom of the ports and don't seem to do anything.

Is the oil pump on the T20SED the same exact oil pump as the one on the C20NE?

Does anyone have a pic of what the pistons look like in the C20NE?

Yes it is. Mechanically its 95% identical with different compression ratio, engine management and 2 more flywheel bolts. Would you recommend I buy the mild performance cam from them for my engine or one from Kent? And.. Is it even worth it or would I need to get a cam with even more lift/duration t...

Is the engine reffered to on this page (http://www.qednet.demon.co.uk/ec/background.htm) the X20XEV? Is it the same as the T20SED?
