Nasties within the engine.

Ok, so while changing the engine bearings I noticed that the camshaft lobes looked a little iffy. So decided to remove the cam and followers. Very nasty (see below). Four of the lobes had worn almost completely away. Astonishing given that the car whizzed around Spa and Le Mans.



So have chosen to replace both camshaft and followers. Going to use the MK I triumph 2500 PI camshaft as it has a large lobe separation and reasonable lift. This will help what I have planned for the engine, but more of that later.
