Kent 885 Cam

[737flf]

Hi all,
Does anyone know the technical specs for the above as I have just bought one but obviously can't fit it without knowing what the timing is.

Cheers,

Alistair.

I think Kent have all of their cam specs available on their website, but not 100% certain.

They have all of the current ones but not, unfortunately, the 885. I'll just have to ring them tomorrow.

Check the number on the cam with a magnifying glass?

[737flf]

Done that. It says "KC TVR 885". Also "KEK 9".

Thats a TVR cam. ask Dom, Kent probably will not give you info about TVR cams anyway?

[737flf]

Just off the phone to Kent Cams. Couldn't have been more helpful.

For anyone interested, cam should be timed:

No.1 inlet fully open 116 degrees after TDC.

Update.

Have just spoken to Dom (Who designed the cam) at TVR Power
and he tells me that it should be set to:
111.25 degrees with No.1 inlet at full lift.

Thanks to everyone for their input.

Can anyone post a scan of a 360 degree protractor?

Cheers.

Alistair.

111 to 116 is quite a big difference!! Be sure you know who speaky the truth!! 111.25 Good luck with the 0.25

[737flf]

I think I will go with what Dom at TVR Power told me as he designed the cam in the first place.

The 0.25...hmmm

FWIW, found the easy way to make a protractor from this link is to print it on to a printable CD and then spray it with clear lacquer
