Just wondering what these cams might be, if anything other than standard. I have seen many 'standard' Indian cams and I am aware there can be small variations from one set to another, but these appear to have the slightest edge on most standard cams, with the tiniest amount of extra lift and duration - probably only a matter of a few thou at most - but there is also this logo on them, which I have not seen before.
 Anyone know anything?

I don't know.
I have seen photos of cams somewhere with those logos on them. Maybe it was on Ebay.
I have never owned any of those, and have never measured their profiles.

Maybe somebody from India might recognize it.

I'm sure that logo is on the AVL cams, I'll check my Electra's original exhaust cam tomorrow. They're not a set of Henry Price's "R" cams by any chance, are they? I know he used AVL cams as blanks, as the AVL profile is larger than the standard cam.

 Curios. Could they be Egli ?

[ace.cafe]

If they are R Cams from price, they will be approx .352"(I) and .330"(E) lobe lifts.

If they began as AVL cams, and reground, they may have been done at any unknown cam shop or even at some unknown  Indian supplier vIA ebay.

 where did you get the cams, BW ?
   like, zoiks!  sounds like a mystery.

 PS, i enjoy the video of slo poke. i want my bullet to sound and run like that someday.

Thanks, all for the replies so far. guss, guss - these cams came with a basket case engine which will become 'Asbo' 19 in the near future, these cams look 'quality', rather than 'hot'.

My spare AVL exhaust cam definitely has the same design stamped on in roughly the same position, only it's a bit clearer. The steel cam bushes (instead of bronze) also point to Indian manufacture rather than Redditch.

Here is a picture of new oem cam of 350cc CI Model part no 141991 manufacture date 05/2015 I think it will help.

By 'quality' do you mean road race cams compared to 'hot' racing cam?

I'd be interested to find out if these are indeed price cams, and what your thoughts are on them BW.

I don't think they are a performance cam at all, but they appear to be well made and I noticed they were a good fit in the timing chest, with no slop or backlash between each other and the other gears.

I have seen the marking before and think it is an Indian manufacturer. One thing I have learned about ALL cams including OEM cams is that there is a lot of variation. A typical Bullet whisperer in India keeps a box full of cams and hand fits them to each engine that he works on to find a good fit.

I'd like to hear more about these Price "R" cams also, and how they rank amongst both Hitchcock's versions, Ace's cams, as well as BW's "S" grinds and the re-phased option. Anyone running those "R" cams? Just for everyone's reference...kinda scattered info among many posts and forums.

I helped him design them.
They reflect my cam philosophy. Very good value. Street grind.
