Hiya, did you sell? One of my buddies is looking to get a Caterham and yours looks like a great spec. Cheers, Roger

Ooh, good spot. Some of those requirements must be new. Previously I've seen all sorts of weird and wonderful vehicles on TF sessions.

Thanks Oily, these look to be mechanical then?

Thanks Oily. Is there an easy way to tell if the lifters are mechanical or hydraulic without removing the cams?

Thanks for the link, didn't find that. Interesting it comes up as a mechanical cam, it's been fitted to a K1600 with hydraulic followers. Not sure what effect that has, hmmm??

I've been helping a mate with his K1600, he doesn’t really know the provenance. We had the cam cover off and discovered a couple of things that I hope folks might be able to help with. The cams have been upgraded with Pipers, ground from Piper blanks. I measured them at 9.23mm lift (39.13 – 29.90) and are stamped with part numbers between cylinders 1&2, both have the same part number LGC206250N 13. I couldn’t find anything on the Piper website, any ideas what these would be? Supersport? I’m sure the head has been ported. I know most tuners mark the heads, I found "CK81" stamped on the rear exhaust side, anyone recognise this? Cheers, Roger

There are loads of exhaust manufacturers, weird 4-1 collector connection though with that bolt on flange, maybe for a swappable cat section? Any shots of the primaries under the bonnet? What is it you need to do, repack the silencer? Any paperwork from the previous owner? I would say the welding's not as good as on my Powerspeed :-) Cheers, Roger

There are some available online, VGK have one: https://www.vgkracing.com/k%20engine%20EU3.pdf Otherwise Haynes Rover 25 / MGZR manual covers them. Roger

Hi Andrew, Hope you're feeling a lot better now. I've got a good VVC Exhaust pulley, no cracks in the rubber, from a second VVC engine I've acquired. Cheers, Roger

Andrew, I'm making a hopeful assumption, that once I've converted to non VVC the standard front cover (without the VVC bulge) will fit, is that the case?

Thanks Andrew, I hadn't seen that, you are very generous sir, I've bought it. Like you say very difficult to find but I've only been looking for a couple of weeks. I cleaned up mine yesterday and thought I might be able to put a plate on the back across the crack (at the top 12 oclock) but then realised it was also cracked but not broken yet at the 3 o'clock position, very wobbly and the pulleys have scored the backplate. Next idea was modifying a non VVC one, the screw holes look to be in the same place but I wasn't sure if the cross section profile was the same. Should I not use it for any reason I will pass it to you for the same price. Cheers, Roger

I'm looking for a VVC timing belt cover, the inner part that goes up against the block. Mine has split and is rubbing against the pulleys. Rover part number is LJR104760. Anyone have one lurking around?

How about this one? https://www.facebook.com/groups/341703863245260/permalink/909412246474416/?sale_post_id=909412246474416

Did you see this one? https://www.facebook.com/groups/341703863245260/permalink/908192819929692/?sale_post_id=908192819929692

Not easy to find at sensible price. I picked up a PRG Tracsporter about 5 years ago from a guy as his new rally car, Metro 6R4, wouldn't fit! It's been fantastic, served as a garage for a while too. I did see Neil Henderson, who's local to me and was racing in the Academy in 2019, has a canvas covered Brian James Minno for sale, £2500, on the Caterham Motorsport Marketplace Facebook Group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/2264076790494403/permalink/2926964327538976
