I thought the TC and SC camshafts were different.@Vern Klukas Do the TC and SC share the same camshaft?
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.
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.
Was there ever such a book printed? I know they liked to change part numbers sometimes on identical parts.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.

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.

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.
I looked at the timing diagram last night, and it shows the same diagram for the 2200 motor and 2000 motor. The clearances are the same too, so I think the answer is yes!So... is a 1972 2000 TC camshaft the same as a 2200 TC one re timing, lift etc?
