Hi Guys,
In all the fuss about camshafts, you have left out the 2 which started it all.....
Boreham Works WR30 and Boreham Works WR40.
I don't have any details to hand right now on the WR30 but it used to rev out something chronic and didn't give too much torque.
The WR40 on the other hand was good for 200+HP when fitted to a good head with works valves, twin 48's and a set of TRW 12.5:1 fly cut pistons down below on a fully counterweighted Datsun Sports 2000 crank with NGK AP8FS plugs. Also made by Wade Cams and known as their 586 grind. I can just make out the writing on the grind card written by Clive many years ago....
Blank billet, Grind No.586
Running Clearance Exhaust .010 Inlet .008
Exhaust Opens 84 Closes 47
Inlet Opens 50? Closes 97
Hope I have been of some help....
Lift at Lobe 290


Wade 713 is WR30, good for 150-160hp with the right bits
Wade 586 is WR40, good for 170-180hp with the right bits

Clive is now out on his own, Clive Cams, he still has both these profiles.

Cheers
Woz

That would be about the right HP for 2L with the WR40.
I have been running 2152cc's for so long I keep forgetting about the extra capacity when talking HP figures.
I've got a free slab for anyone who can tune an engine with one of these cams and get it to idle under 900rpm when matched to twin 48's!! They might be OK with smaller throats at idle to even out the pulses but backfiring at idle or a little above was a problem with the big carbies.
But throw on a set of 55mm trumpets and squirters with an ECU to run the show and the engine is transformed instantly!

Hi Guys,
I need some help to find suitable roller rocker arms for a 2.ltr SOHC Pinto engine. I have a Kent RC1 camshaft and ported cylinder head and will be using 2 DCOE 45 webers. Can you guys help me out?

You can get them from US ebay as found on the US 2.3 roller engines.  They are quite cheap or can still buy new.   Is that a roller cam?  You will need longer valves/lash caps, springs to suit.
