Re: 2.4 build advice needed.

Make sure you buy adjustable cam gears and have the cams degreed in. There is no cam offered at this current time for a 2.4 block and timing belt. (longer belt) Even Mitsu (oem) 2.4 cam gears will NOT get your motor in true correct cam time. It may run, but not in true time.

Every cam offered (even fp3 or 3x) have cam gear dowel positions for the length of a 2.0 belt.

I can help degree cams, let me know, I have a nice big degree wheel, two solid lifters, and a really nice snapon dial indicator to do it with. Just buy me a twelve pack

Oh I plan on it. I want to initially run this setup with a stock head (+adjustable cam gears) Then upgrade to Kelford 272's with Kiggly springs to see what type of gains I get for my own data point.

Hey I'll defiantly take you up on that when the time comes (just let me know what you like to drink). It will probably be another month before I am ready due to fact I am purchasing a house (first time home owner) which requires my financial priority right now

Why wouldn't it? The 95 Galant DOHC 2.4 engine is exactly the same as what we build, just with crappy pistons and higher compression and of the course the dreaded 7-bolt setup. I ran the stock 95 cam gears in mine with HKS 272's and made decent power with it, runs fine. Now I run the adjustable gears simply marked identically to the stockers, I haven't gotten around to degreeing them properly.
