   That cam wont fit your engine. Its for heads with the larger bearings

   the black top bearing size is different to xsi/rallye so that advert is misleading

   Same misleading bearing size stuff too. Also only 9.9mm lift? I'm sure the rallye J cam is 10.1 might be wrong there though

    Aye, dont know why it says it fits rallye/xsi and vtr? The bearing diameter on the ad is for the rallye/xsi heads. Also the catcams 645 has above 11mm of lift IIRC, so I dont think the rallye cam is 10mm.
    
    
    For the OP you need a cam like this:

    They dont seem to stock the newmans ph3 anymore.
