The cam lobes are not 1.090" wide, they are either 3/8" or 1/2" wide. Measured along the cam.....

Well you'd better remember that Minis do NOT have metric threads. Except for the spark plugs..

But don't worry too much about buying imperial spanners as most metric spanners fit. :D But not the other way around...imperial wont fit metric :( unless it's a shifter :lol:

Sorry GT you are wrong there. was 998 Cooper. :wink:
The 997 Cooper got the GOOD cam, (16/56-51/21) they should have kept it for the 998 too.
