Rover SD1 V8 Camshaft, Kits and Components
The Standard kits are suitable for all engines except Series 2 Range Rover.
We stock a full range of Standard camshafts, which represent good value for money.
We offer a choice of Performance camshafts - available either as complete kits or on their own - which are designed to improve torque and horsepower when fitted to standard or uprated engines.
Choose from two Performance cam kits: a hydraulic cam kit and a solid lifter cam kit. Both kits are complete and a simple job for the competent DIY mechanic and both offer a worthwhile performance gain, either on their own or with our Performance cylinder heads. Suitable for all engines except Series 2 Range Rover.
Our Mild Road camshaft gives a noticeable increase in low-rev torque, with smooth idle characteristics and good fuel economy. The Mild Road is a hydraulic camshaft, available on its own or as part of a kit, including followers, single valve springs and fitting instructions.
Fast Road camshafts are available separately as a hydraulic type only, or in complete kits as hydraulic or solid camshafts. All Fast Road camshafts are suitable for engines right up to 5.2 litres. They are particularly effective when used as part of a complete Performance package with our Stage 1, 3 or 4 cylinder heads, uprated fuel systems and Sports Exhausts.
Fast Road Hydraulic is a hydraulic camshaft which boosts top-end power whilst retaining low-end torque and good fuel economy.
Fast Road Solid is a solid-lifter camshaft available only as a complete kit, which includes lifters, adjustable timing chain set, adjustable pushrods, all necessary gaskets and full instructions. The Fast Road Solid camshaft is designed for serious performance applications, where maximum top-end power is required, whilst still being suitable for the road.
All parts listed are suitable for Saloon/Sports and 4x4 applications unless otherwise stated.

Note: Some later Rover Vitesses, notably twin plenum models, were fitted with alternative camshafts, double valve springs, larger diameter rocker shafts and adjustable rocker gear. These parts are now generally unavailable but may be replaced using parts listed.
