thank you guys, i will give them a call once the part has arrived and i can get a part number from it. Dean
does it come as a kit including followers & HD springs etc
I decided to go for a Dave Walker Phase 4 cam for my 2.1 pinto build. Turns out that Dave handed over all the production of his cams to Newmans Cams
some time back. They're very helpful both in providing the cams/kits, and all the support (specifications etc) you'd need to set the cam up.
http://www.newman-cams.com/ for info and contact details.
Cheers

Thank you richard, i will give them a call. I currently have a fast road cam kit from Kent cams with followers and springs that i fitted when i built the engine 2k miles ago, now im looking for a little more power, cam and head work is my next step, Richard how do you rate the cam you have fitted and will i need to purchase another kit to go with the cam? Dean.
I'm not sure (its been a while since I bought mine) but I think you'll need the kit as I vaguely remember it being matched to the cam in
some fashion. Check with Newmans though - they'll give you the details on that.
Mine is in a 2.1 with a 1600 head that Dave Andrews reckoned was pretty well ported. It made 160-odd bhp and a wall of torque. That was less power
than I was hoping for, but it turned out I had a problem with some valves not seating properly. I've fixed that now, but not been able to get it
on the rollers to get it set up again yet.
My experience from the pre-fix time was that it had a really good idle, easy pickup and pulled like a train (loads of torque) all the way to the red
line. It didn't seem to be massively "cammy". I'd expect your 5 to be more extreme though.
Thank you all for your info, i have just read up on this cam, i am already running a kent FR32 with an adjustable pulley with 45's and a burton
power moded dizzy kit on a 205 engine. i am only getting 119BHP @ 6500 RPM and around the same in tourque. i was told by the tuner that the next stage
would be to tune the head and the next stage cam.
I might look out for another head, recon it, try my hand at a bit of porting and fit the phase 5 cam and see what it is like on the car. thanks again
Dean.

Dean,
You should talk to Maylum motorsport in Newington.
He used (in the 90's) to build a lot of clubman spec rally pintos for people in the south east and always used a 1.6 head as the base.
AFAIK he is still going and may have some 'stock' items.

thank you guys, more info the better.
why is the 1.6cc head used in favour over the 2.0cc ??
Smaller volume combustion chamber means you don't have to go mad with skimming to get the high CR required to make race cams work.
