ok i built a new head got it back from the machine shop and needed to get new cam seal (they truff them).

went to nissan to get the new ones the first time they gave me crank seals which i though were wrong.

but they fitted the inlet side but not the exhaust side. the part number was the same as the cam seal and all rb25 engines series 1 2 and stags and even rb20s. the exhaust was smaller. i managed to get a aftermarket one from a bearing and seal shop. has anyone had the same problem???

Thread dig! Ive got a similiar problem. R33 gtst series 2, installed some 256 poncams series 1 cams (tomei say the series 1 cams are for the series 2 GTST) and the inlet vct side cam seal is now too thin in id. So theres quite a gap on the inner hole, the OD is fine, and the exh seal fits fine.. Just been to nissan, all cam seals for every rb motor are identical apparently.. Anyone know whats going on? Do i have the wrong cams or a series 1 head or something?

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
