that SAAB made the cam for M85 not so good for emmisions, so that when the M86&on came around SAAB looked good because that car had imporved emmisions. (RUMOR!)
also, this is with just one intake set, so 'swirl' is improved?
others should really help me out here!
again, look back a couple weeks, months, Kevin K and others have posted the cam numbers.
the other issue with the M85(M86/M87 too) is the external oil gallerys for the cam lube. these are called oiler heads, more comlicated, so I guess more to break & leak. I've not had a problem, the later heads had internal oil passages, you needed to 'burp' those sometimes to lessen valve noise.
YMMV,
Ed S
