G'day, i have a brand new cam that is suposedly good for my A+ metro turbo engine, Its a slot drive, with "KCM 500" and "PD" stamped underneath as a part number, Would anyone be able to identify it? or at least know what brand it is? as i would like to know the timing ect ect. Cheers

Hi MrMiniman,

Look,, this is a loooooonnng shot,,, but a lot of the cams that a place called KarCraft get ground, have part numbers that start "KCxxxxx"... for example on of their cams is a KC100... I can't find one called a KCM 500 in their list,,, but since no one else seemed to have any idea either it could be worth giving them a call just a guess

otherwise the other place my mind went was KC = "Kent Cam" but most of their stuff has MD prefixes... sorry budy,, maybe it will lead to another clue?

Kent Cams has a cam called 500, application mild road and turbo. 252° duration
maybe thats the one.
the M may denotes Metro/slot drive

Where did you get it from , there is a place in America that does race performance parts , Keith Craft Motorsport .

If you got it off Ebay, someone could have got them to make a camshaft for a Mini.

Keith Calver worked with Piper Cams to produce a range of cams a while back, you might have a reground one of them .

thanks everyone, i think it maybe a kent Cam, as KLAS said, it was purchased of a mate in england who was building a hot metro engine....like mine, but he is no longer contactable, i'll take docs advice a get it checked at camtech....i'll let you all know the result!!

Well Looking on turbomini forum, the KCM 500 is A kent Copy of the orginal Metro Cam, it is exactly the same as an MG metro cam. So:

Make Model Rover MG Mini Metro
Part Number 500
Application Mild Road
Power Band 1500 - 6000
Cam Lift 6.67mm
Valve Lift 8.12mm
Duration Inlet 252 Degrees
Exhaust 268 degrees
Timing Figures 16/56 59/29
Valve Timing 110 Degrees
Valve Clearance 0.40mm
Valve lift at overlap: 0.99mm

Is this the best suited cam for a 1310 A+ running 10 to 15psi boost, with 8:1 comp??
Or should i get A GR turbo Cam??

Most of the ones I have seen in Sydney (boostedmini, pristic, benjamin) are using the RE13T.
It has more lift, duration, and LCA.
Anything that gets around 130HP ATW from a 1098 motor is a bloody good cam.
