As I’m sure most folk here know, the T140 is well known for having a pretty aggressive ‘full race’ inlet cam and a very mild exhaust cam.
The inlet can is good if re timed. But it needs a bigger ex cam to really come alive.
So I got to wundrin… has anyone used offset rocker buttons (sold by MAP these days, Dresda and others used to back in the day) to ‘correct’ the offensively mild exhaust cam?
They give an additional .028” lift. This extra lift would put them somewhere between a E3134 and a Hyde half race cam in terms of lift (from what I understand).
So fitting some offset buttons to the exhaust and re timing the cams would seem a good hop up exercise to me, without necessitating a full strip down to fit new cams.
Am I missing something ?
