Hi Rob,

I've just rebuilt a O290 G, all O290 share camshaft with O235.
You can get them brand new from Lyco, ECI or Superior, I got a new one at a decent price from Adams Acft, Lyco UK distributor, on behalf of Dukeries Aviation. I would recomand you contact Mark Bonsall at Dukeries, he is an expert in those engines. Be careful, those parts (as cam followers) are ver sensitive to corrosion, prefer a new one to a corroded ebayed one.
