the cam from an L20 is supposedly better than the L18 item, this should fit to the L18 head with no worries?? The motor is going to be rebuilt, eg. new rings, bearings etc. so there should be no reliability probs, right??
and will the stock cooling system work ok??

Yeah the ozzie auto lasts about 12 months with a L20B in front(B&W)
