who's in, who's waiting? new belt cam design is done and manufacturing begins now!

This is for the 2 valve version, correct?

 

for what it may be worth:

I believe that the 328 cam pulley has a smaller center hole then the 308 which would not allow the 308 4 valve pulley to work on the 328 4 valve cam.

 

Thanks for the clarification

 

I assume your still planning an adustable cam pulley with that verier scale? I'm in.

 

I'd like a set for a 308QV, but I have to wait for my tax refund (or sell off some junk on eBay). April / May time frame will work best for my cashflow and allowances for discretionary spending. I'm doing brakes, tires and clutch for my 355 for this year. The pulleys would be for my 308qv engine going in my long term Stratos replica project, so they aren't a priority at the moment, but I would definately like a set... but if the price is really good because of a qty buy, I just may be able to jump on, as this may just be a one shot, one time deal?

Any idea how far those allen head screws protrude? I didnt check front clearance on the timing cover, but I can if need be.

Does anyone know if the cam belt dust shield that fits behind the belt cover of the QV's will retrofit to a two valve? Would be nice to help keep debris out of there.

 

Brand new stock 308QV belt from TRW / Federal-Mogul has the following sets of numbers on the belt itself: 720, and 48-14003

The number label on the box is 99102005

hand counted 96 teeth each belt.

Belts gotten from T Rutlands last year and are fresh.

When would you need the money? If these fit a 3.2 I'd probably be in.

 

The center hole where the cam centers itself. The 328 pulley has a smaller diameter hole (the 328 cam has a smaller diameter centering ring) then the 308 4 valve. The pulley centers itself on the cam so if you put a 308 pulley on a 328 cam it will wobble as it cannot center itself.

I have a 308 4 valve that uses 328 cams and had to buy 328 pulleys for the very reason I have stated.

Hello,

Interesting; now that Scott requests any orders, basic engineering questions occur again.

I don't know if that was supposed to be an insult, but if I owned a 2 valve I would absolutely buy a set. My 3.2 question was outside the original scope of the great work done

 

Sorry, no insult. Just a statement and not even directed to you personally. But I'm a little bit surprised about the number of orders so far compared to new questions about technical details.
And Scott started this thread to request orders. IIRC there's a separate thread where's a thorough discussion about the technical things.

smg2,
As a veteran of quite a few group buys, many that went well & some that didn't, I strongly recommend that you:

1) Collect a deposit up front. I've seen many group buys where 50% to 75% of the 'I'm in' posters dropped out when a 30% to 50% deposit was requested. Most of the drop-outs generally didn't become takers even after when started posting favorable reports after receiving the product.

2) Post a cut-off deadline (oops, see you've done this).

I'd really like to sign up, but need to take a serious look at this year's budget before I committ. I just spent big $ on an injection molding machine for Unobtainium Supply & a set of 16" wheels, so my F* budget is about a year overdrawn right now.

I've been kicking myself because I didn't get in on Ed Gault's pully set, & know that I'll really regret it if I can't figure out how to participate in this opportunity. Especially since I've got the plastic cam gears & have to worry about their teeth wearing.

 

Someone from N.C. who used to post on FChatt has already designed and sold a new cam belt design with pulleys for a 328 a few years back. Does anyone remember his name?
