PFA Aston Martin Vantage C Type Inlet Camshaft for 6 Cylinder Engines
Aston Martin Factory Vantage “C Type” VC Camshaft
Unlock genuine factory-specified performance in your classic Aston Martin 6-cylinder engine using our brand-new Vantage “C Type” VC Camshaft. We engineer this definitive period factory “go-faster” upgrade, cast from a premium chilled iron blank, to deliver enhanced power delivery while maintaining the durability of a cast-iron valvetrain.
Product Overview
During the classic era, the “C Type” VC profile served as the ultimate factory performance option. By utilizing a durable cast-iron blank rather than steel, this camshaft ensures exceptional longevity and wear compatibility with traditional lifters. Consequently, it protects your valvetrain over thousands of miles of spirited driving.
-
Expert Insight: While many specialists will imply that two new specialty camshafts are required for a Vantage conversion, in actual fact, the exhaust cam is simply a standard camshaft timed in a different position to complement the application of the C-type Vantage inlet camshaft.
-

-
Aston Martin DB4

Why Choose Our Vantage “C Type” Camshaft?
Upgrading a standard-specification classic Aston Martin engine to the factory Vantage “C Type” profile remains one of the most effective ways to wake up a 3.7 or 4.0-litre 6-cylinder powerplant. Because we cast this on a brand-new chilled iron blank, you avoid the risks of worn lobes or improper hardening common with reground original shafts. Furthermore, when paired with our matching valvetrain components—such as our EN24T Tuftrided valve spring kits, caps, and seats—this camshaft restores correct geometry, reliable lift, and authentic vintage performance.
