Help! A D camshaft needed.

PostPost by: vincereynard » Fri Jun 23, 2017 6:22 pm

I'm just starting to play with the cam timing and, sad to say, I have to accept that one of the cams
is too far damaged to reuse.

It, (the inlet cam), has some sort of brown marking on some of the lobes and one of them is definitely scored and worn unevenly. Probably caused by the repeated cold starts??

So anyone got a good Sprint cam for sale?

Just bought it! They probably used banana oil.
Although, going by the colour, it was very old bananas.

P.S. I've just realised that this thread is in the wrong group. Feel free to move it to Parts Wanted if it matters.
