i pulled apart an a14 bottom end for rebuild and noticed it had been tampered with before. some of the nuts that held the conrod caps on were rounded and the pistons looked possibly not the originals...

anyway the cam has "169" stamped on the face under the cam sprocket. is this standard?

Well I had a look on both the Wade & the Tighe sites. While they use a numeric system to identify their cams, this number did not appear, so we can rule them out.

maybe a Clives Cam ??

Camshaft engineering in perth stamp numbers on theirs too..

Wade definitley made a "169" grind for A-series. They may have discontinued them now, but I purchased several of them in the early nineties for road based builds. I might even still have an old photocopied spec sheet, but from memory they were a faily mild cam, timing around 30-70. Good for a road car, motorkhana's, SU's etc.

cool, so its a mild streeter cam then? might give wade a call... cheers fellas

can rule out waggott cams too, no #169 on their profile sheet...

well the one i got from them last year anyway!

i called wade today and he said they did a 169 but there were different types??? basically he said its on the high side of mild in terms of specs. wow, so helpful...

shane that a10 just might fall out and in dropped an a14.... i suppose the wagon is a comercial vehicle for engenieering
