Camshaft

Post by Rocco Ben »

Don't mean to be annoying but just to be absolutely 110% the camshaft of an 1.8 8v injection rocco will be a straight swap to my 1.8 8v carb?
and should give me some fair gains in power about 5 - 10 horses :D

Cheers very much :)

Yes it will fit dude, just get the right cam for your tappets. Dont mix hydralic cam with mechanical head and vice versa. Depending on the condition of your engine, 5-10BHP is achievable. Either way, you will feel the differnece.
