Can anyone tell me the details for this cam? ive searched thru my reciepts and have found that the cam was purchased from Northern Mini Parts. It seems to be a WADE CAMSHAFT as the grind number was written on a wade docket, with the grind number '104'.
Much help needed as i will need to 'dial' in this cam for another block im wanting to install it to.

Thanks

I won't be much help, but I remember this cam as a bit of a HOT road cam from some years ago. I had one in a Mk 1 Cooper and really liked it then.

The wade 104 is exactly what I have in my van.

I have the specs for it somewhere if yoyu get stuck. As I recall the exhaust is the same timing as the 731 works grind, but the lift and inlet timing is different.

Nice mid-range road cam, pulls from 2,000 to 6,000 in my 1132cc with a 12G295 head. Runs out of puff at 6,000, but maybe that's because it's a 1098 crank. :)

that sounds awfully familiar, 6k is high gear changing point in 3rd from experience :lol: . But im pretty sure its a wade, i checked the site - yes, its fackin sh*thouse, but i downloaded this program, to do with all their profile grinds i put in the number, it finds a close grind, then u choose the make of the motor, and then it has all the details and figures, but im not convinced. chuck those details up if u find em bnicho! 8)

Hope this helps.

Similar on paper (270* duration) but a lot less lift (only .338" at valve advertised with stock rockers, but I measured .320").
So, I put Toyota Corolla 1.46:1 rockers in to assist.:)

<edit> Tighe 104 and Wade 104 appear to be same timing & duration, but have different lift.
