Product description

Camshaft replacement is necessary if the cams are worn or the sprocket is damaged. Only replace if you are 100% sure that your camshaft is within Volkswagen's wear tolerances. In many cases, this is no longer the case, and replacement is the only correct solution; after all, you don't want your engine to fail because of this.

At the factory, the sprocket is riveted to the camshaft, but this is not always the case with our standard camshafts. Camshafts requiring separate purchase of the sprocket and/or mounting materials are listed in the "options" tab.

Type 1 25 and 30 hp engines:
Supplied with a riveted gear, similar to the original.

Type 1 and Type 3 engines up to 7.1971 (except 25 and 30 hp):
You can choose between an original riveted sprocket and a sprocketless sprocket. The pinion-less version offers greater gear selection possibilities, plus it's a top-quality camshaft with standard Volkswagen specifications, produced by Webcam, the camshaft specialist for the world of professional racing.

Type 1 and Type 3 engines from 8.1971:
Supplied with riveted pinion as original. If you prefer to fit a Webcam camshaft, this is possible, just take the Webcam Stock camshaft (listed above) and use an oil pump for engines up to 7.1971.

Type 4 engines:
Only available gearless. Both standard and high-speed camshafts are produced by Webcam, the camshaft specialist for the world of professional racing.

Note: The hardness of the camshaft must match that of the tappets or lifters. If this is not the case, accelerated wear of cams and/or lifters will occur. Therefore, when fitting a new camshaft, it is very important to also fit new lifters and those recommended by the manufacturer for this purpose. If it is not possible to prove that the lifters recommended by the manufacturer have been used, no form of guarantee is possible (camshaft and lifters must appear on a single invoice), which is why they must always be ordered together (see "Options" tab).
