Target compression ratios will vary depending depending on many variables; our recommendations are rough guidelines. It is up to the engine builder to set the compression ratio appropriate for the application and to tune the engine.

Our most popular grinds shown below are featured in our engine rebuild kits: — Camper special kits and the Porsche kit. This is the only camshaft that works with stock FI, but it will also work with carbs. Recommended compression ratio 8. Optimized to work with carbs but can be used with aftermarket EFI with independent runner throttle bodies. Proper bearing installation is very important!

Install the bearings into the case and then install the camshaft. Next, tap the cam fore and aft end to end using a soft piece of wood or a brass drift and use some force. This seats the bearing properly into the case. Repeat this times back and forth. THEN, you can check your end play and get an accurate measurement. It's important to note that each thrust bearing will have a bearing tang on it. The case only has one notch for the bearing tang, on the normal thrust bearing half of the case.

Just make it smooth. The bearing will not move because bearing crush holds it in, and the regular thrust bearing tang is still present. Cam comes with the cam gear already installed Riveted onto the cam, so installation is a breeze!

This cam fits the , , , and based engines, for all Type 1 and Type 2s with upright engines, and for Type 3s. We are in the midst of renovating our site! If you already have an order in process with us, don't panic!

Set of 3 does all type 1 cams. You need 2 TWO sets of these to do a type 4 cam and gear. This oil was designed from the beginning to provide flat tappet protection for our s designed engines!

We offer this 20W for guys that insist on running this viscosity oil for their cars. Does not include cam bolts! We recommend in most every case, since oil pressures over 45psi will cause the engine to bypass the stock oil cooler! If you have a 26mm or 30mm oil pump, or cruise at higher than normal speeds, we recommend you check your hot oil PRESSURES to make sure you are not exceeding 45psi, which will bypass the cooler and cause oil temperatures to skyrocket.

Inadequate clearance is not uncommon with high lift cam shafts, you should have. As stated in the VW factory bulletin; the cam to cam follower boss clearance is often not enough even if you are using a new stock VW cam with the factory stock cam followers, the engine case radius is often not enough with the lifter under head profile. These lifters are compatible with stock cams. Stock VW Cam bearings only had 1 thrust bearing, this set provides 2 to halve the thrust bearing wear. This is a really good idea to use on any engine that uses stiffer than stock valves prings, OR uses a bigger than stock camshaft.

Includes 6 shells to do 1 engine.
