If you have adobe reader you cansee it. onthe isky websitehttp://www.iskycams.com/catalog_index.html
They list only one. and dont know if its a outright sale. Means they might have to grind it first. CALL
I dont know how much bigger it is than stock. Need new rockers/lifters? springs ect. This adds up to alot for a head for only 5-8hp at the wheels, W/ a weber DGV Believe me!

grind #440 400"lift 270 deg dur 230deg @.050

I'm not 100% sure they will do a 1.8L cam, but I know that Delta cams can do Isuzu 2.3/2.6L camshaft regrinds. Check them out at http://www.deltacam.com/index.htm

There is some info on their process at http://www.deltacam.com/camshaft%20grinding.htm

Their website is a little messy, but I've never heard a gripe about their work. Give them a call (800 number at bottom of first link) and see what they can do. It would be cheaper than getting an all new cam and still get you all the power benefits.

I have a few Deltas cams and Im not impressed.

There are very cheap but Im sure they work but my proplem was that there Lift specs in the book were not the same as I measured.

They listed a 450 lift 272 duration. Come to measure its only stock lift but the correct duration measurement. What happen is they cut the top of the lobe to make it longer but did not cut the back of the lobe enough to get the lift increase. So by the time I measured the actual lobe lift mulitply by my rocker ratio 1.5 I came out to like 390" lift.
I have another cam its a 460 lift spec but came out to .412lift. The duration was OK But for 33 $ apc with core is cheap but you get what you pay for. Maybe the grinder needed new wheels?

I do have a Delta 475 275 dur in my 510 but never really acually measure it. So dont know for sure it its really what it said it is but its been ok for 10k miles.

I bought a Schneider cam and it measured out perfect(160$). So you get what you pay for. Always use new rockers or lifters when using a new cam.
I have seen Delta cams wear down fast when using old rockers/lifters on a Honda and Mazda so I dont know if it the way the chill the cams(at the factory) and when regrinding it cuts to the softer part of the cam.
Nissan cams seen to be hard all the way thru.

The CROW cams are popular in Australia due the fact the Gemini is very populat to build up, But 2 people have complained that there Crow cams were wore down on there Datsuns. Dont know if used rockers were used or head set up wrong But just to let you know.
I dont know if those are new cores or just regrinds.
