Hello , Can someone help me please DSC_0203.JPG , I have a camshaft from a P6 which I cannot identify

It may be for a 2200 possibly a TC but I cannot match the part number having checked part lists I have

attached are some picsDSC_0203.JPG picsDSC_0199.JPG

There are only two 4 cyl camshafts, early & late. The number here almost matches the early model part number, 533968. I'm wondering if that 533948 number is actually a casting number, i.e. an internal Rover part number.

Now if I look at page 56 A of my Rover 2000, 2200 workshop manual published by BL, I see different valve timing diagrams for the TC versus the SC. I assumed this would be achieved by the shape of the lobes on the camshaft.

Now if I look at my SC and TC parts catalogues published in 1967, they show the same part number, 533968. My 2200 parts book show the part number 566942.

Now if I look at the valve timing difference between the two motors (sc vs tc) it is 4 degrees difference between each of the angles. If I look at the flywheel it is a different part number for tc vs sc. So the difference in valve timing is set by the markings on the flywheel. The camshaft is the same but is timed differently by 4 degrees. So it appears to be the same camshaft.

Ah, this is very helpful! Thanks for that.
 
To continue the camshaft discussion… is a 2200 TC camshaft the same as a 2000 TC one? I'm building up an engine using my original 2000 TC block overbored to take new 2200 pistons, and I will use the 2200 TC head from the spare engine I've acquired. I'm inclined to use the camshaft and carrier from my 2000 TC engine because the tappets that go with them are in better condition, but if there's a difference between the camshafts then maybe I should use the 2200 TC one.
 
If no one answers by this evening US time, I will check my parts books. I have a 2200 parts manual as well as a 2000 SC and TC.

You can run into problems if you check the part numbers in 2 different books. Just because the part numbers are different, it doesn't mean that the actual parts are different. It will work if you have a parts book that covers both the 2000 and 2200 models, but not 2 different books.

Was there ever such a book printed? I know they liked to change part numbers sometimes on identical parts.

533948 is the first part number for the 2000 camshaft. It's clearly listed in the October 1963 parts manual.

I believe they're the same. I'd need to go through the service notes, but many of the changes I've come across so far seem to be a change in materials, in order to deal with unexpected wear and tear.
