Changing Camshaft from JE101
Posted: Thu Mar 06, 2025 12:53 pm
Hi All,
I have a John Eales Triple Plenum 5.2 V8 which has the JE101 Camshaft.
It been on my mind for some time that this cam whilst suitable when built for a comp safari engine, maybe now not the best choice when its in a road going 90 land Rover ??
I have considered maybe the stump puller cam, but curious to hear what others think might be a good option, looking for grunt bottom end power smooth wide powerband, and also although I might well change tappets etc when I change camshaft - again which tappets with which cam, and would there be a need for any machining works or straight fitment ??
Look forward to the forums thoughts
