Its from a 998cc block, i believe the head is a stage 1 whether its reinvent or not, unfortunately the engine number is pretty much unreadable as its so worn so thats no help, The only markings or should i say marking on it is a number 7 at one end.

If it were a non standard cam (i.e. a billet or regrind) there would be a number such as MD266 stamped on the end.
