Hello all,its been quite some time since my last post as the A4 is now long gone and replaced with a merc!
boooo i hear you cry!
and the missus wanted rid of the 16v coupe so that has sat dormant on the drive for best part of 6-8 months.
But a reprise perhaps?
as is a womans want,she saw me jump start it the other day and has now decided to keep it for now at least.
some of you may know that i rebuilt the engine a long while ago and in the process i put in a pair of KR cams.
The car always ran ok after that but i was never convinced about the running of it,when timed with a gun the timing marks always moved around a bit and i could never get it to idle spot on,it did when the original cams were in.
i have always suspected those second hand cams possibly for wear or even that i should of put just the inlet cam in and left the original exhaust cam in.
Anyway,im thinking of putting some original cams back to stock or do i try and locate an ABF cam setup for a bit more oompf?
Any advice gratefully received.
Does anyone have any of these parts? |

tbh unless you have had other work done,head,manifold exhaust etc the cams alone will not be very noticable and for sure stock cams will idle/run better although I've had no real issues with the kr's in mine wihich were dialled in with a gun. |

If you have that would be great!
I did have a full head and spare cams a good while back but they took room up in the garage so I binned them.that will teach me.
I did a bit of basic porting on the head when I put the cams in but if I'm only getting minimal increases then I'll go back to stock.i take it when you say manifold its a case of getting a 20v one and cutting off the spare pipe/sealing it off? |

that's an option and is how mine is as off the shelf isn't really available but I'm sure a vw option could be modified by a competent fabricator. |

How does £25+the cost of postage sound. |
