Hi Kent
I have some here...wondering what you are looking for....it is a 1/2' wide lobe pin drive cam with one wide ring if that helps.
Cheers

If AEG542 is the standard spider drive Mk3 S cam then I have one in the garage.

Let me know what photos you need.

I'm trying to see the relationship of the intake and exhaust lobes to help me set the valve clearance

Just a simple pic of the overall cam to get an idea of the relationship of
the intake and exhaust lobes to help me set the valves

Ok, will take a couple of pictures tomorrow.

But I don't think it's anything special, it's quite a 'mild' cam, and when I used it I just used the standard 'rule of 9' when setting the valve clearances.

Cheers, Dave.

Thanks Dave, I have been using the 9 rule and I'm getting some
settings that are very loose on some of the cylinders.
Appreciate the help, I don't know why I didn't take some
pic's when I had the whole thing apart

Rule of 9 should work perfectly with ALL 5 port A series cams.

If it isn't doing, then something VERY, VERY WEIRD is happening.

Hopefully these are of some use.
