I’m struggling to identify a camshaft that came in my 330 when i bought it. I immediately replaced it with an oem one because there had been contact betwee valves and the pistons but i can’t find too much info on the cam and would like to know if there is any value in keeping it.
Old cam that came with the engine 229H10, T5827 Current oem cam specs according to our parts store
Are the specs displayed for the new (replacement) cam or the one that was in there when you got the 330? The specs shown are for a Comp Cams X-treme Energy cam and look to be good for a mild performance/RV type build.

the specs shown are for the replacement i bought that seems to fit me well, what do you mean by RV build?
the previous owner sold me a damn time bomb marketed as a rebuilt performance engine. Thank you for the clarification. They made no effort to tune the rest of the car or engine for that much cam, every piston had connected with the valves and one of them were burmt straight through after the first startup. They even forgot the oiling plug for the dist and claimed to be professional engine builders.

You have something else wrong. That cam should’ve NEVER let the valves hit the pistons.

hmm, the only thing i changed except bearings and gaskets when it didn’t contact was the cam aswell as proper timing. Everything else worked fine untill i spun a bearing when the transmission leaked. They had forgotten the oil plug for the dist but i can’t imagine that having an impact on the valve clearance
it does also have 1,6 rockers aswell so with an aggressive cam, those rockers and bad timing i would assume that did it?
