Car Forum / MINI / August 2006Mystery Camshaft
I have a Camshaft that came with an assortment of stuff I was told it was a 286. How do I tell what it is? Is there a way of working it out on the bench? Hi Jo, should be stamped on the end , I think its the sprocket end, Fitzy >I have a Camshaft that came with an assortment of stuff I was told it was a >286. > > How do I tell what it is? > > Is there a way of working it out on the bench? > Hi Jo, > should be stamped on the end , I think its the sprocket end, [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> >> Is there a way of working it out on the bench? Thanks, I will take a look >> Hi Jo, >> should be stamped on the end , I think its the sprocket end, [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > I will take a look You can work it out on the bench - you need dial gauge and a degree wheel. This may also be a regrind so there will be no marking on the end. The 286 is the duration but there are exhaust and inlet durations as well as lift. Just a comparison - IN/Exh and lift Mild Street 263/270 .263/.270 Performance 270/280 .293/.315 Mild Street 270/276 .289/.292 Perf.

I presume it is a regrind. Cheers |
