 Im gonna go full head job, till i get it blown...OH no he didnt  lol nah i wanna get a spare AU head, then get it ported,oversize exhause valves, ect do i need reco and new springs for the job or will she hold as is(presuming it survives pressure and crack testing?)

Hi Gerard, Yes they fit straight up without any machining or special seals, etc. We have a specially wound inner that fits on top of the factory spring boss and also fits our retainer, so operates with the correct tensions but with a reduced installed height. The #306810- kit is designed for the AU and are $368.50 for the lot - dual springs and chrome moly retainers. Freight in an airbag is $19.80 and the kits are in stock for immediate shipment. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to call/email. Cheers, Brad That's the best news I've heard in a while. i wonder what sort of lift figures and boost pressures these puppies are rated at. The only reason why people running big HP forced induction motors went to E series heads on AU bottom ends is because of a lack of decent valve spring for the AU. This now allows the use of the better AU head if you want to port it. For comparisons between EF and AU heads have a look here ford-4l-and-6-cylinder-f1/possible-head-porting-docco-coming-soon-t86312.html?hilit=head%20porting%20docco I'm sorry for the slow progress but I'm short on both time and money. Hopefully in the not too distant future I'll be in a position where i can build a budget bench to test these things. |

i just got a 1645 AU cam in my au head and you do need the valve springs... it pushes the limit on the standard springs meant to be 50 thou clearance between coils at maximum lift but mine measured at something closer to 20 thou at least thats what the guy at the head shop told me
on another note you will not be disappointed with this cam its awesome

I just didnt think they'd been mentioned Troyman, nothin related to Wade cams.
Gezza, why? 125lb with chrome moly retainers is plenty good... they cost less than half of atomics |

Will work out cheaper to get the atomics

Lubricate well, avoid high RPM for the first 2 hours. To avoid coil-binding, after the tappets are set, check that the valve- spring can be compressed at least an extra .050" after full lift has been achieved. This will stop the valve springs from binding Degreeing Your Camshaft Using Lift At TDC Method (For Pushrod Engines) First you must establish Top Dead Centre accurately. Once TDC is achieved, with camshaft in Place insert a Cam Follower into number one Intake Lifter bore. Now place a pushrod onto that cam follower and mount a Dial Indicator so it is in the same plane as the pushrod. Make sure the cam follower is on the heal (bottom) of the lobe and Zero the dial indicator. For chain driven camshafts, rotate the camshaft in the same direction as Crankshaft rotation until the lift at TDC stated on your Cam Card is achieved. Now you can install the chain and sprocket set. For gear driven camshafts such as Holden 6cyl, the camshaft will rotate in the opposite direction to the crankshaft
