G’day Guys I have an old XH Ute which had a cracked head with the numbers 96DA-6090-AB on the front, the Camshaft out of that head appears to have had its numbers ground off and has new numbers engraved 94 DA 62 50 BA. I bought a new head which is out of an older model EF with 94AB on the front and 94DA-6090-AB on the inside. The Cam from the original head is extemly tight in the new head whereas it spun freely in the old one. I bought a Cam out of an EF and it has made no difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Have you oiled the cam journals and surface the head before you put the cam on the head? When you say freely, do you mean when you spun it by hand and it kept spinning? Or just the fact it was easier to spin? Was this with the rocker assembly reinstalled or just with the cam resting on the head? Check the journals on the head to make sure they are not damaged as well, a slight dent could cause issues.

I’m pretty sure the original Cam is an AB not a BA it’s just marked strangely. I tried oiling the journals but still stays tight. Both of the cams easily spin in the cracked head just in the new head there’s a lot of resistance. Rocker assembly was not installed the Cam was just resting on the head. I’ll check the journals and make sure they aren’t damaged once I’m home. The two cams are marked as the same but the new one has bigger lobes. Do you know what the interchangeability on falcon camshafts are? |

EF/EL are definitely interchangeable and I believe all E-series camshafts are interchangeable with just different profiles. AU camshafts also fit E-series heads, the only difference is you need to use AU rocker assembly with AU camshaft as well. When you say bigger lobes, do you mean the width or the profile? Is there a stamp on one of the ends of the cam journals?

Told me they could repair it. Thanks mate for the help |
