Re: Will I bend the valves?

[Anthony Pelletier <vwnuts@yahoo.com>]

on an 8v(jh) you will not bend valves if the timing belt breaks--UNLESS
you have a higher lift than factory cam.  I know cause my 8v with a 272
was an interface motor...
I don't know about the high compression (golf gti) motors..\
