Just about to build a new motor for my 95 mini and have been advised to use a mg metro cam. I have been told that this cam has no markings on it? How can I identify it if this is true or is it better to buy a piper or kent cam that is similiar or go for the swiftune sw-07 which a few people have recommended. The engine is staying at 1275 as I don't see the point in boring a good engine just for cc's.

Any advice would be appreciated.

The MG cam has a 1/4" groove machined into it between two of the lobes. either 1 and 2 or 7 and 8 I can't remember which. But if you have a look on the ML Motorsport website AC Dodd has a list of cams with pictures, specs and details.

I've just popped onto the ML Motorsport website but AC Dodd's bit isn't working right now. I needed to find out if my cam was an MG Metro one myself! I've take a pic of mine for you and I'm guessing the groove you're talking about is something like this. You can't see it very well so I've highlighted it. Hope this helps!
