C-AJJ3322 - MINI SPARES FIXED ADJUSTMENT BELT DRIVE KIT
The application of this drive system maintains very accurate and consistent cam and ignition timing, and minimises valve train noise - desirable advantages that do not diminish with time. The fibreglass reinforced belt all but eliminates the excessive stretch suffered by chain driven systems-even when a tensioner is used.
C-AJJ3328 MINI SPARES VERNIER ADJUSTABLE CAM BELT DRIVE
The ubiquitous toothed belt cam drive system, originally developed for high performance race engines, is now generally accepted as the norm on all state of the art modern engines.

This year saw the re-introduction of the damper ring originally fitted to the Cooper ‘S’ engines and used extensively by a multitude of racers – until its demise instigated by the cessation of production by BL some 10 or so years ago. Very unfortunate as this was broadly recognised as being THE crank damper to use on any performance of rally/race engine to deal with odd-ball harmonics produced by the 3 main bearing ‘A’ series engine. Midget and Sprite racers mourned the loss more than Mini owners, as the current “thick” damper causes clearance problems – the damper hits the cross member under hard braking/severe engine braking.
Other problems caused by using the only available damper (as used on...
