Cosworth A2 Cam Profile

Hi, Wondering if anyone has any experience with the Cosworth A2 cam profile in a Kent engine. I've seen mixed comments, some saying its fairly wild, others that its the next step up from a GT cam. I'm also not sure if I should stick with the single 38/38 downdraught or pop the twin 40 DCOEs on. T..

Kent 1600 Oil Pump thread - Clockwise or Counter-clockwise?

Hi all, A quick question; is the thread on the 1600 oil pump (where the filter attaches) clockwise to tighten or counter-clockwise?
