Camshafts, Repairs And Parts

Reground Camshafts

The principle behind camshafts is simple: if you can open a valve further for longer, you can get more air/fuel mixture into your engine. If you can burn all of this and exhaust the waste gases (through your exhaust valve being open further, for longer), you get more torque, which with revs, means power! Alas, reality dictates that bolting an outrageous camshaft into a standard engine will simply result in very poor running, so we've categorised our camshafts as below. Anything beyond RBC4 and RBC12 is not recommended for use with a completely standard engine. It should also be noted that uprated camshafts are not compatible with the standard injection system, requiring use of either carburettors or a mappable system.

Billet Camshafts

For full race use only! Billet camshafts are produced purely to provide a base from which to produce extreme camshaft profiles which cannot be reground from a standard unit. We can offer advice on profiles to use, suited to your application. Alternatively, we can supply blanks for you to have ground yourself.

New!

We can now supply camshafts ground from blank original castings, allowing some very serious profiles to be available for a lot less than the cost of proper billet cams.

Engine	Option	Profile	price
6-Cylinder	Blank	n/a	£595.00
	Ground	Your Choice	£875.00
	Cast	Supplied ground to your spec	£505.00
V12	Blank	n/a	£1037.00
V12	Ground	Your Choice	£1357.00

Professional Cam Timing Kit

For those of you with full race engines, or builders thereof, a kit to precisely dial in TDC, BDC, and full lift of cams. The only way to develop setups for varying engine specs is to know what settings you've tried!!! Originally developed for our own use on our world-class race engines (XK 6 cyl and V12), but easily adapted for use on just about any engine.

Price: £275.00

Standard Biscuit Type: Standard Range(0.085"-0.110") £2.60 each
Standard Biscuit Type: Oversize £3.75 each
Top Hat (Race Use): £5.85 each

Valves

Reshaped valves improve an engines breathing, making the most of your gas-flow work on the cylinder head. The stainless type are made to our specification by the country's leading manufacturer from a considerably stronger, more hard-wearing material.
Uprated valve springs are recommended for all camshaft profiles, but essential for RBC8 and RBC16. Billet camshafts will need the full race springs, held in place by our performance collets.

Stainless Valves

We now have a range of race valves for the 6 cylinder and V12 engines. Lightweight design with tulip-shaped heads designed for optimal gas flow with a narrow seat, these valves are produced from 214 stainless and tuftrided for excellent wear properties. We now offer oversize inlet valves, designed to use a throated out standard valve seat, in addition to our conventional big valves.

6 Cylinder:
1.875" Inlet. Must be used with 1 7/8" seats
1.8" Inlet. Simply throat your existing 1 3/4" seats.
1.625" Exhaust. Uses standard seat

V12
43.5mm Inlet. Uses throated standard seat (standard size is 41mm)
36mm Exhaust. Uses throated standard seat (standard size is 34.5mm)

Price: £17.25 each

Uprated Valve Springs £5.65 per valve
Full Race Valve Springs £10.80 per valve
Collets To Suit Above £4.50 per pair

Performance Valve Guides

New to our product range, we can now unveil our own design of performance valve guide. Precision manufactured to our exclusive design by a well known automotive manufacturer , these guides are produced in high-tensile silicone bronze. This material offers superior qualities both in heat dissipation and wear, and is to be found in valve guides at the very highest levels of motorsport.
What's more, we have been able to incorporate an internal valve stem seal for both the inlet and exhaust sides, so now your full race motor should use even less oil and reduce soot contamination of the exhaust system.

Price: £8.95 each (includes seals)
