Chris@CCM have you managed to get Speedvision Cams to work Now ???

[gv1.3]

Simple fact of the matter here lads is that we cannot make Sam give refunds but at this stage I am tired hearing about his products failing and having him reassure us he has changed manufacturers over and over.

I think its time to re-evaluate his trading position, with regard to custom parts, on the site.

Oh, and by the way lad this may be abit off topic. but the TD04 mani and downpipes that speedvision sells are exactly the same as the ones sold cheaply on ebay from toysport. i think they both get them from the same supplier, i recieved my ebay one yesterday for the ep82.

 

[ryan-11]

Can i ask if this talk is about the latest batch?

I received some a few months ago but not fitted yet.

yeah mate, i only got mine a few months back and they dont work, ill be getting a refund too, thats my cams and springs that didnt work, ill not be buying anything speedvision again either

 

[whiteglanzav]

you cant just jump on the bandwagon and say that everything speedvision is shit

i have the turbo kit and it is mint and good value for money - its the cams thats the problem and i think it says about the springs that you may have to have the head machined.

but dont get me wrong the cams do have problems !!

 

[danturbo4311]

Is there anyone out there that is actually successfully running the speedvision cams & valve spring combo together without any problems (when i say successfully i mean done more than 3000miles on them) As i get my head back from sumo power within the next 2 weeks & its had £1000 worth of machine work done & these are both fitted (& yes the spring base pressure has been adjusted to the correct tolerances).

i was told by the company that rebuilt my head the valve springs wouldnt work even with the machine work done, i ended up buying cruise ones, ive also had a ct9 manifold from speedvision that cracked, ive had bad experiences with speedvision products, thats why i aint buying anything speedvision anymore

yes me and spuddy.

but i was one of the pilot testers. so they have done as many miles as anyone, daily driven 70miles plus a day in a stock and then forged engine. with ct9/hybrid and then td04. and spuddy have been given hell on earth obviously.

these cams were originally brought in from Ivan Tighe(AUS i think) exactly the same as dave burwashs billets.

but i dont want to tar ivan tighe names with these issues as it sounds very like sam may have recently got a different supplier to try and replicate these cams rather unsuccessfully. i dont see any other possible excuse for these big manufacturing issues.

ive also ran tester for sam latest hybrid ct9. without any real issues.

nice guy for sure, but obviously as a cutomer myself i wouldnt be happy without a refund if something was wrong with something i paid the full money for. as i tester i took my chances without any $$ involved.

[Phil]

cheap american shit, you pays for what u gets and all that.

as with most things from speedvision the initial first batch was good, and seemed to be ok, and then it all went to shit.

originally ivan tighe billets is what sam was selling.

hence how dear they once were, i can understand the recent price drop now, he must have a local making them up cheaper to the "same" spec

i think dave burwash might be able to supply billet cams, but not heard anything about these.

his are tighes as well as far as i know.

Thanks phill thats good at least theres some people who havent had problems, as im gonna be very pissed if my engine goes like some of the others on here especially with the amount of money the heads costing for the machine work.
Ryan-11, did they say why the springs wouldnt work with the machining, as long as the base pressure is spot on & its shimmed up correctly i cant see why they wont work?
Does sound a bit unfair if he wont refund people if they havent installed the cams especially if theres a problem with the timing marks, or there just not happy with the quality of the product.

 

[gv1.3]

If people paid by credit card or paypal and are being refused a refund I would advise contacting your credit card company or paypal for advice.

I was told i needed 3mm off the valve seats but if they done that it would cause valve float, they said it would weaking the spring.

 

[Ted]

i think any fooling around with buckets or valve seats is pointless seeing these cams were supposed to be direct fit. i have messaged sam to ask what his next move is, would be nice if he could post up his position.

Mate im watching these threads really closely, i done the same as you getting the head done and installing Sams springs and cams. i'd say it was the biggest mistake ive made with my V, it really did bring me down low. i now have to use the head off my spare 5efhe engine. When you add everything up, its such a big waste of money.

£800 - Headwork
£350 - Cams
£60 - Springs
£350 mapping

£1560
All goes tits up at the mappers, were problem is notice on the dyno graph.
Then having to replace head asap, as the car is still ur daily drive.

cruise headgasket £220
head overhaul kit £110
AP Headbolts £115

£450
equals money problem week, that affects you for 2 months.

Now ive got Dave B cams and waiting on cruise valve springs, then all you think is that u should have done this instead along time ago and not wasted £££grands on a now £300 combo item.

i am being told by those who cannot get their cams timed up its becuz of the locating pin on the gear on the ex cam? can everyone confirm this is the problem.

if it is i will be placing the pin in the correct posiiton and send a new ex cam out if this is all it takes to get a proper timing.

it is unfair to say i am selling these cams and i know they are not working...
the first 50 sets sold in the first batch i never had a complaint about timing problems....its the second batch the supplier seemed to have messed up on the locating pin...

i have not changed suppliers..it has been one company from the start..

i cannot magically know the pin was out until i got complaints..

phil: these were MOLDED using Ivan Tighe Cams....THEY ARE NOT HIS..AND YOU AND SPUDDY DID NOT RECEIVE HIS EITHER..

someone said my ct9 downpipe cracked....last batch of that i had was about 2 yrs ago...how many other traders downpipes havent cracked? is it my downpipe the only one that cracks on the forum?

i saw chris@ccm was able to time the cams ...can you please post how u were able to go about this?

i am not unfair...if finally i cannot get the cams to work even after the pin is in the correct spot i will do my duties..

quite surprised at you knowing that you didnt have a clue as to what ur spring base pressure was which ate the cams away and fked the head up and now blaming the product...as i knwo ur engine was runnign perfectly and would still have been if u or ur builder had installed the springs with the righted pressure..so i really dont go about seeing your complaint..

You will find Chris was replying to Terrys post regarding the timing disc pdf, not managing to time them up

i saw chris@ccm was able to time the cams ...can you please post how u were able to go about this?
