the total cost i have spent on this cam swop is £460  but that does include the purchase of the 3.0 for the cams.

car £200
cam belt kit and all seals and o rings, 4 bar regulator
gas flowed inlet manifold  £260   total. £460.

 Worth every penny.

Hi paul if you do this to your v6 dont skimp on seals and all the silly bits that have to be changed as it will only detract from a truly great up grade to an already awsome motor.I may have gone slightly over the top with some seals or o rings but dont regret it.The sound of the motor growling into life is a joy to behold.

Engine has now been flushed to remove all the cooling system flush and has been run and flushed 10 times before i was happy to put 5.5 ltrs of fresh red vx coolant in. Temp now steady at 92/93 degrees[approx].

If I ever get round to changing the (noisy) lifters, then I think I'll have to definately consider this mod, providing funds allow.
Well done mate, glad it was worth it  :y
