New cam?

Bought as parts of a kit?

No stamp on oilpump end of camshaft?

Kent?

Then SW10

Never used?

Crush old Kent box when the Kits come in different bigger flat boxes?

Is that scoring on the end of the lobes or my eyesight?

Sceptical i know but i know my Mini bits!

Notice the "blackened" lobes after heat treatment?

In all fairness, I think all Swifty cams come in Kent boxes!

"I bought it from swift tune only measured the cam profile for a project at university and never used it. I built a race mini which I will be selling soon. I might be able to find the cam profile plot if you like.

It isn't an 8-port cam by the look of the lobe cycles...

Wierd!

According to a discussion on another forum, it's for a dry-sump drive, and the cam is likely from a cooper forumla Junior racer...
