Thanks for sharing !!!! Some questions: 1. Is sprinngs' replacement requires head removal? 2. Front covers removal is must, isn't it?

1. If you have an air system you don't need to remove the head. This customer went ahead and had ARP head studs and a new head gasket installed so why not. I now have an air system 2. Front engine cover to me is a must. As someone commented below I have never seen someone use the blind service hole method to set timing on this car. Thanks for checking out the channel

How long did the install take you? The shop I went to managed to change exhaust manifold and install BBR camshaft kit in about 6 hours, I was impressed.

I take my time and spend a few days doing it. I don't know how it's possible is 6 hours. You jave to remove all the old RTV and apply new RTV to valve cover, oil pan, front engine cover. Waiting for the coolant to drain alone takes a couple hours as it's a slow process. I would definitely like to know how they did it in 6 hours.

@@midlifecrisis4057 why do you need to remove the oil pan? They did not drain any fluids, just removed the valve cover, swapped the camshafts and valve springs and reassembled.

@@OKMX5 how did they set the timing? There's a service hole in the front engine cover but you have the airbox and coolant system in the way. The rear main housing has to be removed for the exhaust camshaft as well. The rear main housing takes 2 spots of RTV in the corners as well.

@@midlifecrisis4057 they have marked the original timing chain position and then just put it back on the sprockets. Airbox was removed. What is RTV? I have Instagram link on my channel and there is a photo from the installation in a point of putting in the new camshafts.

What’s the peak HP the aftermarket cams make in these?

Peak HP? Peak HP always depends on how much money you throw at something which could be endless. Theres some guys in Australia that have done some amazing things with this motor and OK MX5 who commented here as well made 217 hp in his ND2 with BBR cams.

ND1 can make about 200hp with cams, headers and a tune.
