The engine in a Seat Cupra 20v Turbo was made by Volkswagen. Oh, but hold on, it doesn't have a Volkswagen badge on it. Now thats funny isn't it?
Some companies switch manufacturers. They might have a spec for something, but will take production wherever they can get it most cost-effective. It still keeps the same name, regardless of who made it.
The AVA spec'd Newman Cam thing is a load of bollocks. Just let it go. As I said before, I didn't do this to rub anyone up the wrong way, but there was a point that had to be proven and a question to be answered. That has been done.

Two things Matt....
Firstly:- AFPMSL! At that comment 
I didn't want to say anything against Andy R because I get on ok with him, but I was in the car and I never heard anything out of the ordinary apart from the misfire I had always had at the top end. So I don't know what kinda of funny noises people heard :S
Secondly Matt:- Where did you get that information from?
Oh, and how on Earth did this thread go from heads to cams?

May I add to this very interesting post that I don't grind any of my cams personally. Cam grinding is a very specialised job and best left to those companies who have the machinary and expertise to use it!!!
I personally use one of 4 companies to grind my cams so none of you are wrong in claiming who made your cam!! (usually comes down to who has least work load!)
The biggest issue I have had is finding a cam blank of good quality, as cvh's are notorious for destroying cams, and it really is proving difficult.
One thing I would like to point out is you'll be suprised who supply's who and which companies make certain components such as followers.
Ultimately there are two things that need to be correct. One is the cam shaft specification which is designed by the tuner and the other is the ability of the camshaft manufacturer to grind the cam to the required paramaters!!!
Every cam I have ground I have to Dti up to ensure its been ground correctly as errors can and do occur!!
Hope that little insight helps!
