I love my RE282 better than both, but sadly these are now NLA. :cry:

RE13 gives more power than a 286 IMO, it's better in traffic too.

Only about 4 of these 282 cams were made- 3 are in use and one was trashed when a motor blew.

Mick, yeah it was Jai- apparently he lent the car to someone and they blew the motor up comprehensively. He was "Not Happy, Jan".
Jai posted pics here of the blowup at the time, but I dunno where the thread is. :wink:

Kev the crank is an A+ rolled radius crank that was crack tested (electromagnetically), Big journal and std std bearings. all new down stairs.

But as luck would have i have his car so i have some ransom to hold onto, but it was the only south african block in the country, it was also an A+ gear box with the 3bolt main shaft bearing and larger idler gear.

He,s right if you get the specifications a good cam grinder can give you the cam you want for less than $150. If you buy one "off the shelf" it will cost you $400+. I had a look at the Kent Cams website and the MD274SP looks like a great grind for a 1098, nice wide powerband.

You have hidden the blank so no-one else can get one havn't you Kev ! Sadly, the 282 cam grind master got lost a year or so ago when sent to Melbourne for hardening. It has never been found. Cost to get another master generated in USA is now prohibitive. If a fresly ground 282 cam existed, a master could be made from it- however, accuracy would not be as good as a new master. Only about 4 of these 282 cams were made- 3 are in use and one was trashed when a motor blew. However, Graham has further developed the RE13 since- if you want a little more top end than the standard RE13, he can oblige.

Mine hasn't had the chance to have anything go wrong! Since the drags in October it has been sitting in the shed... The body shell is STILL at the paint shop. Mick, what torque is yours making?

Thanks for that. This has to be the best busted crank and block job I've seen (and I've seen a few...)

Looks like the crank wanted to look after the oil filter... Damn! But hey! Looks quite fixble, compared to this: Cheers, Jan
