1098 Cam

[tony barnhill]

So, I'm ordering all the parts to rebuild my 10CC DAH 1098 engine.....guess what? Moss doesn't carry cams for 1098!!

Where do you guys go to get them?

They are the same for all A-series.
Get a Kent 266 or 276
For real hot street performance go for a 286
The only thing you need to be careful of is the oil pump drive.

From Mini Mania
"The MD266 camshaft from Kent is a brilliant all round performance road cam. Smooth idle, pulls from around 1,200 RPM. Small gain in low end, big increase in med and top end. Unbeatable for genuine fast road use. Rev band 1,200 to 6,500/7,000 rpm."

Guys at APT would be a good source for a quality cam and lifters.

I have a new oil pump that's stock for the engine & want to stay with that one....everything else in the engine is gonna be stock, no "hop up" items.

So, where's a good vendor who carries Kent cams? Hap Waldrop?

Pretty sure my cam (for a 1275) came from APT -- Hap took care of that since he's building the motor. I'd suggest giving him a call, Tony, he'd surly be able to offer some advice.

Or you can just call APT directly, I've heard good things about them. I'll be ordering my headers and exhaust from them.

Just talked w/Hap - he gave me the APT web site & told me to talk w/David Anton.

The kent 266 is very similar to the factory MG Metro cam

David Anton is grinding me a new pin drive VP-266 which is his version of the Kent 266; it'll take him a couple of weeks to grind & harden it.....Brian @ MiniMania is sending me a set of lightened & hardened lifters (C-AEG579) that have the drain hole in them.

I'm an MGB guy....Getting into unchartered territory building this Midget engine.

Don't worry, you'll soon forget about MGB's once you have a nicely sorted out midget to drive. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

Make sure you are getting the right cam drive for that new oil pump.

When does the head start getting ported /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

Yep, Pat....Hap confirmed I have a new pin drive oil pump so I ordered a pin drive cam

Man, these things are weird! MGB's don't have anything like this!!

hehehe...I do like driving both this little '63 Midget & my '74 RWA Midget, Trevor, - WITH THE TOP OFF!!! Can't get in the things with the tops on!

 

[jlaird]

Do Spridgets have tops, really?

 

[mccalebr]

Mine does...just can't remember where it is...

Tops..Theres a over rated fad, like glove boxes and that internet thing.

Windows? We don't need no stinkin' windows!

 

[mccalebr]

I've got some windows...but they don't roll-up...I think I put them with the top...wherever that is... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
