Euro cam and FI cam the same?

[karhawk]

Someone told me the grind on the original X euro cam and the US FI cams is the same, any comment?

Thanks

No...they are different.

The Euro Cam is very close to the 35/75 spec. The FI cam has very little high end performance.

Euro/US 1500 cams

Someone told me the grind on the original X euro cam and the US FI cams is the same, any comment?

There's a bunch of camshaft info in the wiki at http://xwebforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Camshaft#Specifications

The section in German at the end matches information that Ulix gave me by email a while back, suggests that the US FI and Euro carbed 1500 cams are not the same; 24/68 for the Euro and 12/52 for the FI.

But I will not be completely convinced until I have set the two cams up side by side with a dial indicator and a degree wheel.

I've now got an X19 1500 (UK version) specification and features manual as well as some more part number and lift / duration information to add to that table...which i didn't have when I compiled it... I'll try to get it done when I'm home on break.

But yes the 1500 euro cam is 24/68 64/28 with 9.85 lift from memory...
