EXCHANGE CAMSHAFT KITS

In 2003 we totally revised not only the way we sell our camshafts but also the design and manufacturing. We now only sell camshafts packaged complete with followers and cam lube for assembly. We offer the choice of our bucket or standard type cam followers, please specify when ordering (pushrods not included). There are considerable differences between new and reground cams so the decision should be taken carefully. Reground old units limit the lobe size and position, with this in mind we only accept old units which have not been reground before, both on the lobes and journals. Using the original material we heat-treat these to the best limits available.

PROFILES

- DWR 1 profile is the only camshaft which will fit without any valve pocket reliefs. This profile is a little better than the BJ8 cam and so works well in any standard or mildly tuned car.
- DWR 2 profile is high lift with 300 degrees duration (requires valve pockets). This profile is very similar to the original ‘Works’ profile and ideal for rally or track day cars and works well with triple Webers for a punch of power as it comes on cam.
- DWR 3 profile is high lift with 320 degrees duration (requires valve pockets). This profile is very similar to the DWR 2 with a little extra duration and overlap. Ideal for race cars and works well with triple Webers.
- DWR 8 profile is a higher lift with mild duration (requires valve pockets). This profile is ideal for fast road or mild rally and works well with twin 2" SU’s or triple Webers for a smooth tractable car.

PLEASE NOTE: Prices include followers and cam lube, but not pushrods. To purchase an exchange Austin Healey 3000 camshaft kit for outright sale with no old unit please add £150.00 surcharge.

STEEL ROCKER PEDESTALS AND SPACERS

As used by "Works" Healeys. These are much stronger than the standard aluminium ones and stop the rocker shaft from flexing and fretting. The spacers hold the rockers firm, stopping them from moving up and down the shaft.

BUCKET CAM FOLLOWER

This is much lighter than standard. Not only reducing the valve train weight, by design they also reduce the side loading of the follower and subsequent block wear.  Along with reduced noise. - Strongly reccommended for all engines,  road or race.
Must be used with our long tubular push rods (CENG661).

LONG TUBULAR PUSH RODS TO SUIT BUCKET FOLLOWERS

Set of 12 long Tubular Push Rods made from chrome-moly tube these are very strong and are normally supplied to the correct length to achieve the combined standard follower and push rod length.

These can be made to a specific length if required.

MODIFIED CAM FOLLOWER

This new original type cam follower is modified in our machine shop to increase lubrication to the cam lobes and also help the cam follower run lighter as they will not fill with oil.

STEEL CAM THRUST PLATE

Our Steel CAM Trust Plate is much stronger than the original sintered type and is a direct replacement. This will not break and wear much better.

NEEDLE ROLLER CAM THRUST BEARING

This must be fitted with the steel cam thrust plate (CENG 654) helping to reduce friction & wear. The cam sprocket will require a small amount of machining.

VERNIER STEEL CAMSHAFT SPROCKET

This light weight Vernier Steel Camshaft Sprocket gives you the advantage of adjusting the camshaft timing accurately with no fear of the timing slipping once set.

RIBBED ALUMINIUM ROCKER COVER

Finished in crackle black and highlighted with our motif.
This come complete with polished Monza quick action filler cap and all fittings.

Our Ribbed Aluminium Rocker Cover was designed to give extra clearance for the rocker gear, especially on engines with high-lift cams.

INSPECTION FRONT COVER - 'EXCHANGE'

Fabricated from the original pressed steel front cover with a removable inspection plate. This allows access to change the cam timing if you have our vernier cam sprocket.

Ideal for rolling road or dyno tuning.

PLEASE NOTE: Price stated is for exchange.
