Avoid a 150 bhp version then my friend

Lets not go in to this debate unless you have concrete evidence that there is a problem with the 150's. Mine has done 126k now with no signs of wear. Perhaps I am just a 'lucky' one. *Touch wood*

All the horror stories you hear are related to the 150's although the 130's do have exactly the same cam....was speaking to a mate of mine the other day and his mechanic mate has changed a couple recently

Read a few posts about 130 cams going on a few different forums now seems to just take a little longer.
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
