Head Gasket gone ... what cam?

[dubsport]

hello thar!

basically i think the head gasket has gone on the ol girl, my mate is a mechanic (now works for the RAC) so he is taking the golf and doing everything that needs to be done to put her through an mot (also fitting a new cam belt, speedo cable, petrol filter, all the manifold gaskets etc..)

So while the heads off i have been advised it would be a good time for some performance upgrades ... can any one reccomend a good place to buy a performance cam for an 8v Digiphant engine?

thanks

While the head's off get out a dremel and port match to the inlet and outlet port gaskets. 

That should improve the flow through the head and give you a mild gain to maximise the effect of the cam.
