AJP8 - unbelievable - nightmare

[marcus1970]

Recently took my CERBERA 4.5 in for a service. On opening up the head in order to adjust the tappets, the garage concerned found that one of my cam caps had fractured/snapped. Is it not just acase of fitting a new cam cap or do I have to have a new cam shaft,5 new caps and the head rebored. I can't believe that TVR would make an engine that requires £2500 of work to be done just because a cam cap has snapped. Surely every AJP8 should be identical and therefore parts swapped about as required? Any help much appreciated

I would imagine a new cap and line bored would suffice.

Can you line bore just one cap out of a set?

If not, the rest could be recut then line bored too.

I havent seen the AJP setup, but I can imagine its that much different to anything that would also be line bored in a similar fashion?
