« on: November 10, 2009, 04:38:16 pm »
Hello all,

i have a 1.6NA (to be TD) head at the machine shop and i've been told it needs new cam followers. Are these available new? Also, what do i look for in a used set? Does anyone have a decent used set for sale that they'd send to Australia?

Cheers,

Matt

'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

Giles can also supply them, and he does ship internationally. I wouldn't bother with used ones in your build.

Maybe check to see if it's the same lifter on all hydro 8vs, then you should be able to source something locally
