NA6C Cam timing mod

Post by DeeCee » Sat May 26, 2012 7:23 pm

I am considering doing the cam timing mod to my NA6C but have not been able to find a link to any instructions about how to do this.

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks

you need a timing light
go here and folow the instructions but set the timing to 14 degrees instead of 10

Thanks sprsta, I am onto that one.

The mod I am referring to changes the inlet and exhaust cam timing by swapping the timing gears (from memory)

Yes you are correct SLYDIT, I finally found some more info and seems it applies to the 1.8 engine, not the 1.6.

Speaking of exhintakes... Could anyone point me in the right direction for obtaining a reasonably priced exhaust camshaft?

I'm also interested, if you are interested in doing it for me. How much would it cost?
