FJFOOL Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago I've heard some early 8V engines suffered from cam failures and was wondering what years and models were affected by this. Thanks in advance ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance ! Up to mid 2013 from memory. Any engine that has flat tappets, ie non roller tappet engines will fail it's just a matter of when. In the short term or medium term.

Lots did have as Guzzi offered kits. Pete Roper will be along shortly and know the details but you can visit the Grissogetto forum and there will be a ton of late model 8 valve cam and tappet detailed info including from Pete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
