Vp290spm camshaft

Post by Workinprogress »

I have an older engine with this camshaft. When I search mini spares site does not give much information. Anyone have an old spec sheet on it including the timing for initial set up?
Thanks,
Bruce.

I don't have the listing to hand, but that sounds like an APT Grind.

They are very top shelf Camshafts, not just for the profile, but very high quality.

Thanks, I will reach out to APT. Have not talked to David Anton in a long time anyway.

I have been chatting with David Anton on and off this past year. I picked up a NOS APT shaft for my 90 mainstream Cooper. It's a grind they haven't offered in 20 plus years. He was happy to give me all the info I needed on idle and RPM at which it wakes up. Steve (CTR)
