Does anyone have a spare exhaust camshaft part 010837 or know of a good engineering firm who can re face my pitted one, please?

Can't help with complete camshaft, but the spindle can be pressed out fairly easily. These things turn up frequently at autojumbles cheaply enough (often the tapered spindle end shears off) and I made up one with good spindle pressed into a decent cam. Andy

Are they the same as the 500?

Not sure what year is beady's engine (not shown in his Profile) or whether it's a G3, G3L, G3LS, but on most engines '49 onward (from memory) they are the same but you use different marks/numbers on the cam to set the valve timing.
The press fit axle is keyed to the cam gear.......

I reckon I might have one if it's the same as the 500.

Kind offer Spooky.


Barry. I notice you are new to these Jampot forums. Are you aware of AMC Classic Spares who have a huge range of used AMC parts as well as new?
