 Re: Cool 2cv Pictures 8 Sam, you've hit the nail right on the head, especially since your comment is just as appropriate for the Kent cam. That seems to require the use of special valves plus replacement of valve springs at every available opportunity to avoid the sort of wreckage pictured below.  ken samfieldhouse wrote: Surely it's better to run a low(er) performance solex that works than a higher performance carb that's temperamental? Is there not some sort of number of laps vs time spent in pit co-efficient?  Ouch! by slcchassis, on Flickr

Re: Cool 2cv Pictures 8 sigh cant even begin to work out why controll carbs and cams are needed when all the cars came with the same cam and carb fom factory - the "worn" argument is crap because getting your solex bushed is cheaper than all the bodgery thats needed to get a landrover carb to fit and work. its just "ooh look we can get an extra couple of BHP - maybee the real racers will take us seriously"

Re: Cool 2cv Pictures 8 So what is a Kent cam, I've heard about them but not actually aware of what they are. And wow that IS carnage! ken wrote: Sam, you've hit the nail right on the head, especially since your comment is just as appropriate for the Kent cam.

Re: Cool 2cv Pictures 8 Isn't it a maunfacturer of cams? Kent is a brand like Avo (I think) that do performance/racing cams...
