Cam chain and sprocet for Superturbo 606 - TurboAlex - 09-25-2013
I just bought a MPR R6164 turbo, a 716 643 tranny, 8mm 180cc Dieselmeken pump and om604 flywheel. But now i wonder what to do with the cam chain and sprocet because the engiene have lived for 151 000miles/230 000 km and now i have gone from 15kg valvesprings to 35kg valvesprings thanks to EHD Prefromance and KM Cams.
I my head the increaced wear du to bigger turbo and stiffer springs will wear the cams and chain faster and maby break it prematurely. Do you guys think i choud change chain and sprocets??? Or just leave it and just change the headgasket?
(I payed less for the engine that a quote from local MB parts dealer on gasket, chain and tensioner and sprocets)
Regards Alex

I have seen some builders drill in a second roll pin on the cam sprocket, so that it's not just the single little key holding the sprocket to the cam.
Other guys will have more advice though
