karlgurney Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Hi i've just bought a "ebay special" pinto and been striping it down to see what all the gubbings are, the cam has a vernier pulley and stamped along the shaft is FR10 and on the rear end is 270, any ideas it all looks in good condition with little or no wear. Is it worth keeping? I will be taking the head off as soon as i get the right tools to see what valves and pistons are in there. Cheers Karl P.S i have done a google search but couldn't find any cams by the name of FR10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wookie Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 FR is a Kent code as far as i know. checked the kent site but didn't have id of a FR10, might be an old profiled one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlgurney Posted January 28, 2005 Author Share Posted January 28, 2005 They said to me the FR10 is a part number one of there early cams 268 degree duration and they told me the gaps for the rockers and timing, basically gives about 15bhp increase in power with power between 2500rpm and 6000rpm, any good? i'm not to sure?
