cams.... mk3 gti 8v or mk2 gti 8v?
« on: 18 January 2010, 23:49 »
As per title guys, just wondering if a mk2 1.8 8v gti cam would be beneficial over the standard 2.0 8v item?

Some people say the PB cam is hotter than the standard mk3 cam, I don't think so myself.

after grinding it down to fit the cam dropped in fine, it does not run lumpy and emissions although higher than normal still come in under the required spec.
combined with timing polishing an matching  on the usual places my tugger goes like a rocket.
and if hypowasitly speaking the guy with the Mk2 8v (badged as a 16v) wants me to own him down the Mad Mile again then it will be 3-0 to me :wink:

Cam: £10
Belt Kit: £25
Grinding: Lunch break
Fitting: Saturday morning
discovery of another hole in the floor: Priceless  :laugh:
