i've been set on getting a futral f14 for my '02 M6 car, but when i was with my friend getting his car tuned, a guy had a used f13 cam for sale for $250. it looked good besides some light abrassions on one end where it rides on the cam bearing. he said it could be polished out and it'd be fine. another guy i was with agreed with him but i'm a little worried about buying used internal engine parts. do you guys think i should go for it, or just save another $150 for a new f14?

 

If you have the patience I would save my money for a new F14

 

new trust me evryone is getting ripped right know with the economy like this.

 

i'm loving your avatar haha

 

i'm going to think on it some more. maybe i'll see if we can try to polish it down before i buy it.

 

I would be careful about buying it and just save for a new cam.

 

yea I wouldn't waste the time or money on a used cam that already has damage. Just wait and get a new one.

 

150 isnt much. just wait if you have any question of its integrity.

 

you didn't happen to be in Tally when this went down did you? The guys name wasn't brandon was it?

 

i bought a new tr224 for $225 shipped. good deals are out there.

 

nope, i was in bluntstown getting kory's car tuned. the guys from tally though. his name on tmca is mr. bond. i forgot his real name though.

 

Shoot me a pic of it, I'll tell you if it's alright or not.

And FWIW, there's virtually no power difference between the FM13 and 14. I've done the swap between the two and saw noting except a little driveability loss in the 14. The 13 is the better cam IMO.

 

I was just wondering becuase my buddy Brandon (slmdls1) was running that cam and messed up his motor...so he swapped in a BIG motor and said that his cam was still perfectly fine. I almost bought it for my z28 when I had it...if it is him selling it you have nothing to worry about. I don't know MR. BOND

 

if i can get ahold of him to send me a pic, i'll forward it to you. but he might have already sold it. and that's interesting. i might reconsider the fm13 then.

 

nahh, it was slmdls1. this guy has 2 lt1 cars i think. i know stephen knows him. i might try and see if brandon still has his cam and if he's selling it.

 

Just talked to him...he doesn't still have the cam.
