Ring Graham Russell and ask him.

Hay, it's not about the car, it's not about the venue, it's about the people that come here. Peter Dwyer, Mayor of Hay NSW.

RE13 gives more power than a 286 IMO, it's better in traffic too.
I love my RE282 better than both, but sadly these are now NLA.

why??

Cant you just provide him a cam and he grind it to that specification??

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.

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.

It was a pleasure ausmini. I'll miss all you misfits and reprobates

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?

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.

Yep, nice job there, ay.
Wonder what crank it was, I can't see the part numbers...

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,
