[Rovernet] part number for early Rover V8 camshaft

[pierre janusz]

Dear Dan,
Rimmers are talking bollocks. The 8.25 CR engine had the same camshaft as the 10.5 CR and the 9.25 CR. I have genuine original Rover camshafts under the original part number of ERC 2003.

Subject: [Rovernet] part number for early Rover V8 camshaft

Hello everyone,Greetings from upstate New York. 
I am in the midst of rebuilding the 1973 Rover engine that was factory-fitted to my MGBGT V8.  The factory V8s used an 8.25:1 compression ratio.  
As expected, the camshaft and lifters on my 68K mile engine have issues and will be replaced.  I would like to replace the camshaft with one as close to the original specifications as possible  (no desire for a non-stock performance cam in this restoration).  
I have ordered a number of engine parts from Rimmer Bros. in the UK.  However, their website (and technical online 'chat' person) indicated that there were different cams for low compression engines (< 8.5:1) versus the high compression engines.  I was under the impression (must have read it somewhere) that all the pre-SD1 cams to all versions of the Rover V8 were the same specification --thus including the 10.5:1 P6Bs, the 9.25:1 P6Bs through all the low compression Range Rovers, etc.  
Does anyone know actual part numbers or can point me to a reliable reference?
Thank you in advance for your assistance!  
Best regards,Dan_______________________________________________
