i find mini spares site hard to use

so do I, I havn't had any problems with minisport, their site is alot better imo
I tried to buy a exhaust from minispares but some of the staff came across as rude so rang minisport and they were a great help, probably luck of the draw tho

I agree, the Minisport website is a lot more user friendly and easy to navigate but that's the only thing i use them for, i never buy anything off them!

They also don't have anything like the info or parts inventory that Minispares have.

thats what i need

[Pauly]

The oil pump should be a slot drive for the kent range of cams (its the most common drive). Rocker shaft should go again, centre oil pickup will involve stripping part of the gearbox and if its not going to be a permormance engine and your not rebuilding the gearbox I wouldn't bother with one.

Dont need to run a tensioner with a duplex timing kit.

I would say if your not having the head modified then the cam would be a waste, because the cylinder head is the most limiting factor for performance in an a-series engine.

Thats my opinion anyway.

i have used minisport lots and had nothing but problems with them, minispeed are good as long as you get someone good on the phone, mini spares are good and seem very halpful.

[JoneseyBoy]

im confused who to go with you are all sayin so many different place to go.

and surely if im doing a full rebuild i should change everything ?
