Camshaft recommendations

Cause you'll have to remove half the stuff you remove to fit the camshaft again when fitting the pulley.

Standard pulley will be fine, try TSR.

TSR for the vernier? cheers dude

I would not bother with a vernier pulley to be honest, well worth trying TSR for the cam however.

oh i see. well I had a look on their website but couldn't find anything about cams

Well worth calling them, they deal with Kent plus used to sell their own.

Does it come with bearing shells? allways worth doing when swapping a cam, i would save and do the lot in one hit
How old is your belt and tensioner as for £40  it's got to be worth it unless its fairly new, sorry i am making this expensive for you

I was looking at this kit but will probs just go down your route as i am broke, Mortgages suck

No bearing shells on a Golf head, but yes well worth doing cam belt.

cam belt, yes I'll be doing that hopefully, was done 30k miles ago but with cam belts there never is a minimum interval really, always good to have a good condition one.
Vernier I'll be buying but at a later stage, for now standard pulley will do.

Sorry bearing caps, mine were fubared on the old MK2 the new cam had too much float so i had to wait another week for the new ones and i hate busses, head half was still grooved but i polished it out and bedded the new cam in with paste  worked a treat but i had to take the head off.
Power was better and more spread out from 3.5 to 5.5 revs and felt a lot quicker in 3rd gear
Worth it in my opinion
