435 cam timing?

[macdeb]

Can anyone tell me what the timing specs are please for the TVR435 cam? So as to dial in correctly.
Can't find on any searches and thought someone here may know, cheers.

You should get a card with the cam?

[macdeb]

Don't have a card hence the question. Would it be the same as the Kent 214 [as I understand it is based on] at 111 degrees? Anyone?

[phazed]

I would try Power, they'd know more then anyone.

[macdeb]

Hmm, called but wouldn't tell me on phone. Said it wasn't dialled the same as 214 but didn't tell me what it was. Want an e-mail. ?
[and my e-mails down anyway]

It's better in black and white, no mistakes.

Do you want me to mail?

If you wouldn't mind, cheers

Of course I'd still like to hear if anyone else knows

[phazed]

Request to Dom sent.

Think it is around 116, best wait for the man that knows though.

[phazed]

Yes, it is 111 degrees.

That's it then.


, sadly I have 116 rattling through my head as being stamped on the end from when I took one out of my old V8S. Have to see if I can dig it out the photo, sure it was stamped KC TVR 435 RM 116 deg. Perhaps dialling it to 111 retards/advances it to a better place.

111 lobe centres,is that enough info?

Are you sure as that's LCA 111 [Lobe Centre Angle of 111 degrees]? Which seems low for a road car. What I'm after is what it should be timed at with number one piston at TDC? [thought the LCA was nearer 118 as per markings].
Harry, thanks for help but 'I think' the 116 refers to LCA though could be wrong. Mine actually has stamped; KC TVR 435RM 118 11 932 X
By my reckoning KC = Kent cams
TVR 435RM = grind
118 I thought was LCA
The rest,,?????

The more I think 111 degrees must be what it's timed at, [is it?]

Guy on phone at Power said it wasn't
Was that reply from Power peter?

[Pupp]

Aren't the 'standard' TVR cams all timed at 111.25/112 degs?

yes, email from Dom.

[carsy]

Pretty sure i dialled my Kent 214 in at 111.

[HarryW]

All from poor memory again, but when I recall my replacement being dialed in to 112 or something like that, but it was a different grind, a boggo H218, which actually isn't far off a lot of exotic grinds.

[just to be sure that was timing, not LCA?]

There are 2 different LCA for the 435 on the smaller motors i.e my 4.0 it was 116

Edited by Sardonicus on Tuesday 11th March 21:34

Was the other LCA 118 by any chance?
