The 731 cam was BL special tuning cam, I belive it is available new from minisport as are the other special cams such as the 997 cooper cam etc etc. I do not know it's power band.

It will be a fairly useless modification to carry out on a car that has had no head work done, you will need something like a well ported and polished 998 head, or you could fit a 1275 head to it for a good power hike too.

It is available in any of the three drive types for your oil pump, you specify which,....

Oil pumps cost about £20, you might as well replace it.

On the oil pump side make sure you get a good steel backed one. their normaly better.
