Re: Early 'N' Grind cam?

[drew <drew@dyermaker.cs.uoguelph.ca>]

The part number for the N grind cam is 049 109 101 N (funny, that :) )

I can't speak for the profile on the C cam, but the N reared it's head
around '79 on the Rabbit et al (1.6L.)  It was used on 1.6 and 1.8's (in
Europe) including the high compression DX engine until hydraulic lifters
were introduced.

Shy of profiling one (or finding some docs somewhere) it's hard to say for
sure, but you could probably assume a profile that resulted in similar
power as the N grind, but different running characteristics, and possibly
emissions.  The N served as the replacement for the C, with no posted
increase (or decrease) in HP for those engines which were so equipped, so
who's to say?
