Hi

The Sport came from the factory with a standard SR cam. There was a dealer option to upgrade using a hairy ENEM X17 cam, however back in 1985 this was a ?500 upgrade so very few where fitted. Sorry to say that ENEM dont make the X17 any more.

I have the original spec and profile for the ENEM X17 cam somewhere I will post them when I can find them I remember it being a 298 rotation.

You will be able to find another company that will do something similar.

Hope this helps

298 deg... foooooookin ell thats a bit of a severe beasty for a simple "upgrade" lol.

As promised full Nova Sport Optional Cam Spec

Duration/Rotation 298 degree

Valve Angle 103 degree

Valve lift 10.12mm

Opening times:

Inlet opens before TDC 35 degrees
Inlet closes before TDC 73 degrees
Exhaust opens after TDC 68 degrees
Exhast closes after TDC 35 degrees

This scarry/hairy cam fitted with no other mods took the standard SPORT to 93bhp at 6200rpm.

Piper A13BP285H and A13BP300H work well

hope this helps

back in the old days that was how you won rally championships, design & sell 5000 of a certain model, ie: light shell, no trim, twin 40s, then offer 500 'evolution' upgrade kits - lairy cam etc. this allowed homologated group A. versions.
they also made damn good production saloon racers.
