Joe, Over the years I have found many mistakes in the
after market parts catalogs, along with receiving the
wrong parts because of these errors to the point that I
verify any questionable items prior to ordering!!
I will now provide the gospel as it comes from the Triumph
"Bible".( The Triumph Spitfire4 Spare Parts Catalogue)
This is the fifth edition printed to include the MK2 parts.

That be the truth, the whole truth and all the bearings listed!!! So, you
may believe the Bible or the parts
catalogues???? Bill McDevitt
> The 211433 uses no cam bearings
> The 212164 does use cam bearings and was used in engines up to the early
MkIV's
>
> I see no reference to 202931 in any of my parts books, but the Rimmer
price lists show the number and say to use 211433R. I suspect
> that the cam was upgraded somewhere during Mk1 production (probably for
better performance) and the old one was no longer stocked.
