TVR Cams and rockers

[RichB]

Here's one to ponder - as some of you may know I had a TVR Power 435 cam fitted to my Griff 500 about 4 years ago. The work was done by Portfield who also fitted steel push-rods, solid lifters and adjustable rockers etc. I've just had the car servied and Racing Green were advised by TVR Power that the 435 doesn't actually need solid lifters. As it's 4 years since the work was done and Portfield are no longer around I can't chat to them about it (although I know Kevin Moore is at Aston Works Service these days). I'll give Dom a call when I get home but just wondered if anyone had any thoughts on this? Could it have been that Portfield just thought that solids would allow the use of more revs? They also did a similar job on Ted Reddicks Chimaera that he used for sprinting in those days. Rgds Rich...

Humm I need to get to the bottom of this, perhaps I have the wrong number for the cam? Certainly Portfield swapped the standard one for an upgrade from TVR Power 4 years ago. Rich...

Rich - I would assume that you don't have the 435 cam

I've been in touch with Dom at TVR Power and it seems I actually have a 377 cam. I will have a chat with him next week to find out more about it. Rich...
