The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Here is a question for the serious racers to answer.

Both Mark and I are in the process of building our next race motors and have damaged cams that need repairing. So rather than spend money on repairing old cams, we are considering buying two new full race cams (from the UK?) or alternately two billet blanks. Can anyone help with a source?? Ideally a ready ground cam with useable rev range of 3500- 7500 with big HP and torque. Carburation is injection on one car and 48mm Webbers on the other. An original Group 2 is the minimum we would consider.

If you don't want to give your secrets away on the forum, please e-mail me at sprintparts@triumphoners.com. Remember we are 20000km away so unless I have a huge lottery win it is highly unlikely we will ever compete against you head to head. Ken, Jeroen, Hans??

Cheers guys
Philip

a few folk on here use these.

I believe Paulsprint on here has had new cams ground by Newman, ~£350 a go IIRC. Paul ?

Thanks Rich,
Newman Ph4 looks like the one. Comments from anyone that has used it? Grind accuracy etc?
Cheers
Philip

Another source: Piper Cams

They list a 316 degrees 50/86-86/50 cam with 0.443" lift. Quite hairy if you ask me

They quote a power band between 3500-8000rpm so out and out race

Prices on their website 120GBP repro and 515GBP billet


Cheers,

Hi Ronald,
Thanks but the Newman cam specs are better and their price is good.
Cheers
Philip
