Schrick Camshaft question

[kervinridgley@earthlink.net (Kervin)]

I measured a stock cam in a hydro head I have.  My dial Calipers are in inches (crazy Americans!).  

VW stock hydro
1.339 = 34.01 mm
1.737 = 44.11 mm

VW G-Grind
1.475 = 37.47 mm
1.893 = 48.08 mm

Looks like you do have more lift than stock.  The lobes on the stock hydro head are much "pointer" than the G-Grind I have.

Subject:	Schrick Camshaft question

I have bought the following camshaft on ebay for my '88 Scirocco (hydro
head):
<<http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1871991097&r
d=1>>
If you look at the picture, there is no machining onto bearing #4, plus
there is a blue band between lobes for cylinder #3.

How to tell a real Schrick? I remember seeing a picture somewhere of a
Schrick Camshaft, and it had "SCHRICK" stamped on it.

The thing is, the camshaft I received is NOT what is in the picture. #4
bearing of what I received has been machined, and there is a VW/Audi logo
stamped on it, along with "Mexico".

In my basement, I have a TT G-Grind, a stock VW solid (85-86 Scirocco), and
the "ebay Schrick"

With a Mitutoyo Dial Calipere, I measured the lobes:
TT G-Grind - 38.2mm * 49.0mm
stock solid - 38.1 * 47.4mm
"ebay Schrick" - 34mm * 45.2mm

I know that you can't compare a solid with a hydro camshaft, but what I
received looks like a solid camshaft.

Before contacting the vendor, I'd like to confirm, if someone knows, that
Schrick Camshafts have "Schrick" stamped onto them.

It could be a mistake, but, I'd hate to think that I was shipped a VW Fox
camshaft...

Anybody has experience dealing with ebay regarding scams or similar
experience.
