They look well finished dan but I'd replace the button heads with cap screws (provided there's space), they're impossible to tighten enough without damaging them.

On a related note, has anyone come across alloy pulleys (a/c, ps, alt etc) for the FTO? Less unsprung weight on reciprocating ancillary parts has got to be a good thing....

How beneficial would these lighter cams be? presuming the alloy is lighter then OEM, im getting a timing belt done in a month wondering would it b worth my while replacing them? im starting to do minor adjustments , cat / exhaust and if you guys think these will take more strain off the engine i may consider purchasing some.

Every little helps.

its actually to be able to adjust the timing so that the cylinders are open and closed at the perfect times
