200x cam swap

[HON-DUH]

Does anyone know if any other camshafts are compatible with the 200x? I have heard talk of XR200 cams possibly being a match but not sure.

Yes and no. Only the cam from a two valve XR200 engine will work. It is an upgrade compared to a stock 200X cam. It won't make "huge" power, but you'll make more.

XR200 cam is a direct swap in I believe. I don't think you'll have to change anything else but it might not hurt to upgrade the valve springs and throw a set of valve seals in while you're there.

Ok thanks. Is it difficult to remove the valves? Does it require special tools?

[125Mmadness]

Not too difficult but when doing it just be patient. You can make the tool to remove the keepers, just take a deep well socket (5/8" works best) and cut one side of it out to extract the keepers, compress the spring with the socket on the spring with a 6" c-clamp and pull the keepers.

Thanks for the information!

My cam shaft is worn and im thinking of replacing it with a xr 200 cam, is it needed to replace the springs? will it make any difference?
