Is there a comprehensive list of VW 8V cams?

As far as I know there were only 4 "factory" 8V solid lifter cams.
The early US cam used in 1.6/1.7L engines.
The 1.8L GTI cam which was not as good.
The G grind with unequal intake and exhaust valve lift.
And the Euro G grind with equal intake and exhaust valve lift.

There are probably others but that pretty much what you're going to run across here in the states.
Various cams have all sorts of different stamping on them most of which I've never been able to decipher.
About the best you can do without a cam doctor is to measure intake and exhaust lift and see if it matches any specs.

> Like stated above. Does anyone have or seen a comprehensive list of 8V cams? Things like what engines they came from. Say for example the G-grind cam from the early solid lifter heads. What are the specs from it or the Cam that is stock on the 84 rocco engines. I found one with a W stamped on it, but I have no idea what that means.
