Does anyone know if used UK/125hp camshafts are worth the effort? Or do they get worn pretty badly?

Since you don't have your location listed*, I'm assuming that you mean putting a 125hp camshaft into a 95-110hp North American-spec 924. The camshafts are the same for all '77.5-'85 924's, including the turbo, for all markets.

*this is considered a no-no. one demerit.

Jon's right (about the cam, identical, and the demerit points

)

The 125hp Euro/UK engine gets it's extra urge with higher compression, more ignition advance and no emissions gear.

There is a after market place in U.K called Piper Cams. They sell high lift cams for the 924 chalange series. They had a article in the 911 and porsche world about four five months ago.
