Re: Lotus boxer LT-5 Engine
What a bummer Lee,
Then the ebay seller's claim does not appear to hold true: "Yes, they will work in a ZR1 LT5 (same lobe phase timing as the LT5)" Looks like you have a good case of misrepresentation.

Re: Lotus boxer LT-5 Engine
Would they work for a flat crank or a swapped 5/7 firing order?

Re: Lotus boxer LT-5 Engine
Ah come on, how you going to stick this guy with miss representing these cams, Surely this is a case of throwing caution in the wind and hoping for the best. I think if you do hit him with a paypal Item not as described, that's a pretty shity thing, he listed all the specs.
Did you ask him "if they don't fit the LT5 motor as represented will you take them back" If you did, then that's that and send em back for your refund.

Re: Lotus boxer LT-5 Engine
Going to talk with Graham.....going to see if there is a way to run these...or if I can find a flat plane crank.
The seller is a great guy, offered a full refund as he thought they were stock LT-5
