57' or 69' Camshaft ?

[Martyn.griffiths]

Hi All,

I purchased a 57' 36hp motor that sat in a shed in Tasmania for years.
With the intentions to rebuild it as an Okrasa. I'm currently trying to work out the camshaft gear size + -
I've found a few marking on the cam that came out of the engine (pics attached)

O. Timing mark.

0269. (Stamp on the came) which has me thinking Feb 69.

111 109 111 ( Cast ) This Number does not correspond with The Bentley Book for camshaft so.

0710. ??

Would appreciate help on the camshaft issue .

The small, four-digit numbers are inspectors' stamps, not date codes.

111 109 111 is the # for 36hp cam gear. the camshaft has a different # 111 109 101 it is between the lobes. the + or - should be stamped on the gear. sometimes they did not mark them.

These are the only markings on the cam gear.
So thanks for the information.
