I'm slowly getting around to pulling out the "speedy" engine from my Arrow to investigate the cause of its low oil pressure. The engine, apart from pistons and con rods, is as it left the factory. Forum members with more experience than me have recommended the camshaft should be replaced - so it makes sense to do this as well as giving the engine an all over check for problems.
I can buy a reground "normal" camshaft from the UK (I'm in Australia) but this would necessitate bushing the center bearing, new front bush and a new cam gear, doable but not ideal. Is there another option, has anyone had a new camshaft made to suit, especially in Aus or modified the sports cam to lessen its aggressive profile. I know of a company in Queensland that makes billet camshafts but without a specification I would be lost.
Also, is it recommended to do the oil pump capacity upgrade or any other mods when I have the engine out?
