Mk.lll 850 camshaft

Forums

I'm trying to determine which camshaft has been fitted to my 850 MkIII.

As it has no visible markings does anyone have measurments and dimensions that I can check ?

Have a look here, lots of data. A quick check is to measure the diameter from peak to back of lobes and the lobe diameter at 90 degrees to the peak. Deduct from the first and you have the lift at least. Std cams are equal inlet and exhaust lift. Performance cams vary with some having greater but equal intake and exhaust (PW3) or greater intake 2S, 4S etc.

Thanks for the link, probably everything I need to know.
