My 97 Griff 500 is showing signs of needing a new cam, I have a couple of questions:

1. It seems a lot of people recommend a 'stealth' camshaft, who is the manufacturer and do they do a cam replacement kit which includes all necessary parts i.e. followers, timing chain, sprockets, gaskets, etc ?

2. Is there a recommended downloadable engine repair manual that gives all the necessary information to carry out the cam replacement i.e. procedure, torque loadings, inspection criteria?

As we all know the PH search function isn't working and as suggested have googled, however I can't identify which would be the most definitive manual to use.

Grateful for any help

Have a look at WWW.landroverresource.com or type range rover v8 engine manual into Google, and follow the link there.
