I am now finally getting around to building my engine, but find i can no longer buy the cam i wanted: a morspeed PH3 cam

i know that a 286 and SW10 are very similar, but i wanted the slightly better road quality of the PH3.

i read somewhere that the Newman PH2 is exactly the same as the morspeed PH3 cam, and that they actually provided them to morspeed.

can anyone confirm that? has anyone had any experience with the newman PH2 cam?

here is the info sheet for the cam:

also, if anyone has a new morspeed PH3 they would sell, i would be very interested.

Many thanks

I needed to replace my PH3 during my current engine rebuild (not yet complete) and chose to go for AC Dodd's "ACD-RS+". It's similar to PH3 profile and available through MLMotorsports. See here for details... http://www.mlmotorsp...id=86&Itemid=30

Right I've had a look, and i can't post my cam charts on the forum for some reason -.-

The Newman seems to have the same lift than the Morspeed from what i can see. The duration is the same also.
From what i can see they look the same, However the valve lift stages are different in my charts so i can't compare

thanks for looking at that jesus

i am just waiting for an email back from David Newman where he will tell me if the 2 cams are the same

I agree with the short duration & rapid valve opening philosophy, but I'm puzzled why MLM go on to advise against high ratio rockers. They're a better way to get valves open quickly without as much side load.

It would be more cost than doing it with a cam alone though.

What engine is this for?

well, i heard from David newman at newman cams, and he confirmed that he was morspeeds cam provider and that the newman PH2 cam is exactly the same as the morspeed PH3.


and at £150 for a billet one, i may go for that to aid longevity of the cam.

[twrminisport]

Thats very interesting.
Thanks for that

Jesus
