ferrettkitt Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hi All, I've just scrapped a seized B60 UNF engine I offered the camshaft to a person on milweb who's asking for a camshaft for a B60 BSF engine. My question is ... is the camshaft on a unf engine compatible with a bsf engine. Reading page 28 in (In National Service) it mentions that the crankshaft was changed... I know I should of put this on the page I might be stupid but .... it seemed a shame not to offer it if it could be used. Any ideas?

Richard Farrant Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Andy, According to the Humber parts list, the part numbers of the cams are different, but they use the same gear wheel. The difference may only be that one has UNF threaded holes and the other, BSF. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrettkitt Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hi Richard, Thanks for the reply I was hoping that it might be as basic as that Rgds, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Pearson Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Always seems a pity to scrap an engine. Most seizures (well some anyway!) are recoverable. Have you given it a go at freeing it up? If the crankshaft is useable then the rest may be as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrettkitt Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 Hi John, I've just got to many Ferret bits knocking around typically all big bits and not enough space. Whoever last fiddled with the engine had left all the spark plugs out and when I removed the cylinder head it had rust drips like the titanic. With more time it would have been saveable Andy http://www.ferret-fv701.co.uk/b60%20rust%20bores.JPG[/img] The 2nd picture shows the rust behind the valve in the head http://www.ferret-fv701.co.uk/b60%20water%20damage.JPG[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
