DippedHeadlights Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Can anyone identify this camshaft? It's in a 13/60 small crank GE engine and might be original. It's large journal type (no bearings). I expected a 212359 - I don't think that is what is stamped on it but I haven't got another 212359 cam here to compare.

It's a common choice for the 1300, albeit often as a re-profile of a different cam (to avoid the bearings!) but in that case it wouldn't have the 212164 number. I can't read the number from the photo either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DippedHeadlights Posted September 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 I know, it's really difficult to make out, but actually is clearer in the photo than in real life! Is GKN as manufacturer a clue? The fourth and fifth digits don't look like 3 and 5 but if someone has a 212359 cam maybe they used an unusual font!?.. hang on, doh, I've got one. This is Stanpart not GKN and the number is stamped the other way around, but unlike the way computers do it the 3 is flat topped but still not sure ?

I was squinting at the photo and it looked to me like 212359, before I read your post further down the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
