Wrecking yard fun...
Hey guys,
I just got back from a local wrecking yard.... lots of VW's. I
ran across an 86 Scirocco 8V that had a bunch of racing stickers and
stuff on it so I decided to take a look under the hood. Anyways, this
is what I found: Adjustable cam gear, K&N filter, 4 into 1 header,
blah, blah, blah. I bought the filter and the gear for $10. Quick
question: the cam attached to the gear was stamped as a VW/Audi
product, I don't remember the serial numbers, could/would this be a
G-grind? Also, could I use this (if it were a G-grind or performanace
regrind) in my 81 since the cam is for a hydrulic head vs. my solid
lifter head. I think it's kinda useless if the guy had all of this
work done to his car w/ just a stock cam (it was advanced like 10
degrees).
I also found a door (complete) for my car for $75. The same yard
wanted like $150 for an Audi 5000 tb. Is he asking too much? Thanks
again for all the help. Also, I've heard that early Rabbits with the
1.5L had a factory G-grind... is this true? If so, what years?
P.S. I'm thinking about using the gear on my '94 Golf. If it is a
G-grind cam and it is for a hydraulic head, I might slide it into my
Golf. Sorry about the length!
