Yikes! I have always had great success with Dema's cams.
I hope his shop survived the fires.

Subject: [Fot] Re TR4 camshafts
Hello all,
I have always nearly always built Triumph TR4 engines with cams from Dema
Elgin Superlobes in Santa Rosa. Occasionally I had installed other cams
supplied by customers that had a valid timing card supplied. I decided with
the English pound being low vs the Dollar I would try the PH1 Cam from
Newman Cams in England. I had heard good things about their PH1 cam as being
a great street cam.
When installing the cam. Information on there website stated peak cam lift
was .295" (it is only .220") resulting in a lift at the valve being .120"
less than stated. Starting off with" incorrect lift figure all valve event
figures on the website are wrong. After several emails I got a two sentence
email saying ,set Intake for max lift at 110 degrees ATDC and the cam will
work,
After doing lots of engine modifications I would like a more scientific
answer than the cam will work. Has anyone used this cam or a Newman cam
before, or found that the information supplied by Newman was incorrect. I
hate to eat the cost of the camshafts I bought or incur the cost of sending
them back to England, but I would have no confidence in using a camshaft
without having a correct timing card for the camshaft. -
thanks
