Just a quick one I recently bought a metro that had a camshaft in the boot, the part number is LGC10234 I believe it's a vvc exhaust cam but not sure, I put the number into rimmer bros and it just comes back as a camshaft but doesn't say for which engine.

Anyone got any clues?

Would be pretty easy to tell if you post a pic of either end.

Deduct the base circle dia mm from the peak lift measurement, that will give you the cam lift, if its 8.8mm then its a std K cam,
if its 9.2mm, its a VVC exhaust cam, if its 9.5mm, its a 135 cam.

I'll measure it up tomorrow thanks for the info

It's got roller pins and threaded holes each end that's why I'm thinking its a vvc exhaust cam

Yep vvc exhaust cam ,I wouldn't pay too much attention to the casting number 'LGC 10234', that's just a
blank casting number, bears no relation to cam grind.
I came across a non vvc 1800 MGF once that had 2 vvc exhaust cams fitted instead of the std ones, it ran like a bag of shit
due to std 1800 ecu fitted, it needed a 135 ecu, (cams were timed in correctly).

Ah right that's why I couldn't find anything about it then.
I put a pair in a 1.4 spi gti engine a few years ago and it made it idle a little lumpy but drove fine, got a little gain from it to got 100bhp on the Dyno
