Never heard of it, is there any other info, any numbers and letters on the end.

Do you know where it came from or who supplied it.

The only thing i can think of is that it is a regrind and they put white paint on it to visually identify it.

If you have a dial gauge you find the lift at the valve by measuring how much the top of the valve stem goes down and with a cam calibration wheel you may be able to work out the duration.

Thanks for the quick response.

 

Just looking at a head for sale and this is the desription it has, was hoping that it was a common nickname that i just didnt know.

 

Will see if i can get them to see what is stamped on the end

Basically if they have no info on the cam it's not worth any money so bid on the head and tell them to remove the cam.

Without any proper info on cam timing and lift you will have a hell of a job timing it.

Simon they just sound like casting nos. somtimes the cam manufacturer stamps a number on the end face of the cam shaft to id. it ie 285.

Peter.

I think I have a standard one with a white paint band on it!

Just checked it is blue paint and casting nos EP26 D2 made in USA and A stamped on the non pulley end.
