By 'big port 4age', I hope you mean 'Smallport 4age'.

And by that I also mean do a search its been covered twice this week.

And if ya cant be bothered searching then the answer is yes, but do a search on doing the timing so ya dont $&#$% it up.

I'm fairly new to the 16v 4AGE world, so correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a big port 4AGE with TVIS the Bluetop???

Or was their a big port Redtop with TVIS that had higher compression but with milder cams?

Complete the swap. However the bluetop cams work better in the redtop bigport when you use the exhuast for intake and intake for exhaust. It also works better if you turn the cam upside down to install it.


They are the same cam.
