Camshaft identification
Posted: Sat Feb 16, 2019 10:54 am
Looking at some other forums this seems to be a bit of a minefield! why can't camshaft manufacturers make it clear what they are?
Currently mid head gasket replacement, so whilst I'm there ... you know how it is!
Thinking of replacing the cams for something with a bit more but I'm not sure if these are already 'faster' cams anyway.
Stamped on the castings it has 'KC' and 'SPORTCAM'. Kent Cams I'm starting to think... BUT on the cam ends (piccys below) it has 'BP285HY' plus IN/EX (I've worked that bit out ), also another group '703' and a '2'.
BP285H comes up as a reference for Piper's ultimate road cam!
Can anybody please share their wisdom on camshaft recognition please? I really don't want to waste the wedge on something potentially not needed - rather spend it on ECU replacement as no-one seems to like Weber Alpha any more.
Thanks all.
