Tell you guys what, I have a spare PB cam ground down in the garage I will post it up over the weekend.
The bearing I ground down was still rock hard underneath, which leads me to believe it is through hardened.
Either that or the case is quite thick as I recall I had to grind approx 5mm off the od to match other bearing dims.
Could have sworn it was 4 caps but hey thats life.
As stated never rr'ed the car with the cam in but it is quicker than the average 8v, have got a few other tweaks so it may be the whole package as opposed to a Wonder cam :smiley:
Car passed MOT fine last time around with no issues, lets see what happens next April although I think the Tin worm will be its coffin nail not the Mk2 cam :cool:

PS mines an ADY but AGG is the same....... Wayne? :wink:

Piture of Khare gaying out with 8v cam shaft, position 4 out of 5 is the one to be ground down

vwbush, don't suppose you want to sell that ready ground cam? :) the reason i'd rather go down this route is the car only cost £300 so i grudge paying the same again for a performance cam. Tbh the car is fine as it is but i'm gonna do a timing belt soon so seeing as its off . . . It would be rude not to stick a cam in!
