Hi, Just finishing off rebuilding my Dolomite Sprint I started way back in 2015 and have needed to change the head gasket. My question is what camshaft is in it? The camshaft has MC 25228 (or 9) stamped on the shaft and PK7 stamped on the end opposite the camchain. Is this the standard cam or an up-rated type? I can't find a definite link on the web (except for one for a Kawasaki motorbike) although it could be some kind of Piper cam?
Any ideas?
What camshaft have I got?
Re: What camshaft have I got?
I believe that's a standard one, there's mention of MC 25229 on the old forum if that helps:

Thanks, I'm happy with that as I was kind of hoping it was. I have spend some time re-shimming it to get the 0.018" clearances right.

Check out this thread if you're setting OHC clearances:
