The engine will run with the cam one tooth retarded, but it doesn't have any power that way.

Yes, the FA-65 cam will fit in the FA-72 but again, a major power loss if the 65 is the early one.

If you want to try it, switch the entire cam box assembly, that way you wont have four tappets to worry about mixing up.

Then you can, if you put the 72 cam in the 65, shock everyone with the really hot FA-65.

I probably repair more Saito engines in a year than most people will own in their entire lives. With this experience, mixing and matching parts, and perusing replacement parts lists, the information just comes naturally.

I'm happy to share it.

Bill.

PS: Hobbsy and W8YE Jim are also good sources. wr.

"Say-Toe" is just WRONG. But it's common.

Bill.

Performance Specialties has exhaust parts for the mid block Saito engines, but the items I've checked are about four times the price of the similar parts from Horizon.

I'll leave the part number search to you.

Keeleo Creations will build one to your specification.

Bill.
