[Review] Works Engineering Performance Billet Camshaft Review - Part 2

A long delayed post on my experiences and review on this product.
So sorry for that.
Finally got my lazy ass around to post up part 2.

You can refresh your mind by viewing part 1 here.

As mentioned previously in part 1, I was hooked and decided to give this product a try in my own humble Satria Neo.
First time in my life playing with cars that I've actually change the parts inside the engine head itself.

So where else to get this thing installed?
It is done at my usual place. EA Autoworks.

As this is a first installation, we have come up with the following plan to see how much gain will this camshaft provides.
Before installing the camshaft, we will send the car for a dyno first to get a reference figure.
After installation, we will then hook the car up on a dyno again and then the power output.

An appointment is then made to get this thing installed on to my car.

As planned, a dyno run is made first at GT Auto in Sunway.
Sorry figure will not be disclosed for now.



Then it is off to EA Autoworks for the installation.

Drove the car into the reserved area and work begins almost immediately.

The engine mounting is removed to gain access to the crank pulley.


Loosening the crank pulley.


Cam cover removed.


Spark plug cables removed and time to loosen the engine head.


Removing the placeholder of my intake kit.

Camshaft gone !! The hydraulic tappets as seen here.


Inserting the exhaust part of the camshaft. Looking sexy eh?


Intake and exhaust camshaft installed and being lubricated.

Engine head cover back on. Moment of truth is getting nearer.

Tightening the crank pulley.


The camshaft is then tuned using the adjustable cam gears that I already had installed a long time ago. The cam is then tuned accordingly until a smooth idling is achieved.

After everything is done.


Everything looks fine and dandy right?
Now its time for the million dollar question.

What is the gain like?

This my dear readers, will be made known in part 3 where the full experienced of this product in whole shall be revealed.

Stop the guess work. It has been revealed.
