Description:
Autotech 16V Sport Camshaft Set
Notes:
Ground on Autotech’s own, custom manufactured, chill-hardened billets, our new Sport
16V camshafts achieve power levels higher than the benchmark Schrick 260°, yet pro-
vide far better low-end torque and drivability. Without question, they are the best
street-legal* performance cams for your 16V.
* Exempt under C.A.R.B. Executive Order D-375-4. All timing settings and tune-up speci-
fications are the same as original.
1) For a trouble-free installation, it is important to understand that there are two
separate timing procedures that must be addressed when installing this
(or any VW 16V) cam set:
First, there is cam-to-cam timing, which is set by the position of the chain connecting
both cams.
Second, there is engine timing, set by the position of the timing belt connecting the
crankshaft to the exhaust camshaft.
These timing procedures should be viewed as two, independent operations. Once seen
this way, the installation is quite simple, and will go smoothly, even if it's your first time
doing this sort of thing.
2) We strongly recommend changing the timing belt when it has seen 50,000 miles of
use. If you're not sure how many miles your 16V's belt has, CHANGE IT! A new belt is
cheap insurance against costly engine damage caused by a broken belt.
Procedure:
1. Remove the camshaft drive belt cover on the front (
6 Nm/53 in. lb.) and
side bolts (
10 Nm/87 in. lb).
2. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise with a 19mm wrench until the No. 1 cylinder is at TDC (Top
Dead Center), indicated by the marks on the camshaft sprocket and valve cover (see Fig 1)
