These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

The MG Metro (not turbo) has a 6mm wide groove between the first and second lobe (a groove, not a raised ring).

The standard 1275 (inc Metro turbo) has no grooves or raised rings.

I did a lot of research - mainly on TM - to confirm this because Vizard's description is wrong....

Other Leyland/Rover cams for 998, economy, SPI etc have a variety of raised rings to identify them.

After my original research on TM, I later found that AC Dodd's site (ML Motorsports) has an excellent set of photos of all the identifiers.

Hi Luke, I've got one available... I'm in Shrewsbury but working in Nottingham for the next 2 weeks, so could meet you and save you the postage.

Let me know if you're interested..
