does anyone know the cam duration of range rover/SD1 vittesse/TVR, or any other rover engines in any state of tune?

or the degrees of opening/closing on the cams.

in aid of pulse tuning for an exhaust build.

The Range Rover Haynes manual has the open / close angles of the standard cams for carb & EFi engines. I think it's 285degrees.

I am almost sure the Griff 500 engine uses the H234 cam.

On the Rover P6Bs from 1972 till 1976 running twin SU carburettors, the camshaft duration for both inlet and exhaust was 285 degrees.

Valve timing was...inlet opens 30 degrees BTDC, closes 75 degrees ABDC, exhaust opens 68 degrees BBDC, closes 37 degrees ATDC.

I have a JE102 - said to be 43/79/79/43 302 degrees .500" lift


It does not like running in traffic less than 2000 rpm but from 2500 up slams the seat into my back!
