Superwhite R283 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I believe the cams I removed from my (what I thought was standard) 1.6k EU3 are supersport/TF135 cams. Cam base circle (thinnest part of lobe) = 30.09mmBase circle and lobe lift (thickest part of cam) = 39.01mmSo lift = 8.92mm Am I right??

oilyhands Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 TF135 are not supersport, nor do either profiles have such low lift. The stock cams have 8.8mm, supersport have 9.3mm, tf135 9.6, SS cams have way more duration than TF135. Your cams sound standard, publish a picture of one of the lobes from the side of the profile and I will confirm.Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superwhite R283 Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Thanks Dave, just hoped they might be none standard, meaning I could sell them. I'll sort a picture later.

TomB Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Thinking aloud here, with a stock bottom end, K16 head with mech tappets & an Emerald, could a cam upgrade/ change to something other than a Supersport cam do anything for my engine? Or would I be wasting my time without a stronger bottom end/ more air flow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 If you currently have SS cams and a plenum with a stock head then there is no point in going hotter on the cams.stock cam is 8.8mm lifttf135 is 9.5 approxOily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 With SLR/ KV6 TB? Same answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Step carefully, if you push the engine any harder, your pistons are at risk. If you do trade to cams with more lift you will need to swap the springs.Oily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superwhite R283 Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Sorry for the delay, pictures here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 For those pictures they look like stock K series cams. Measure the lift, if it is 8.8mm that will confirm it, to measure the lift, first measure the cam diameter across the smallest part of the love, I.e. Perpendicular to the centre of the peak, then measure the tallest part of the love, subtract one from t'other.Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesElliott Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 It's difficult to read the part number on the pictures, but it seems to correspond to the part number on Rimmer bros for a standard camshaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superwhite R283 Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Nevermind, just thought I could sell them to help fund the upgrade fun :0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Englishmaninwales Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 If an early engine, pre coil packs, the spigot drive for the distributor on the inlet cam will have some value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
