ok, got the 2.0L guts from mueller today. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)
included was a non-stock cam and brad initially thought it was a web-cam.

turns out to be a "Iskenderian" VP-228 ...

here's what i found on their web-site:

"Import Cam: PORSCHE 914, VOLKS 411, Type 4, 1700-2000cc Grind No. (VP-228) Type (Combination) Intake (27-63) Exhaust (63-27) Lift (.433) Valve Lash Cold (.008) Duration (270°) .050 Duration (228°)"

which is great, but what exactly does all that mean?
their link to the "timing chart" is not working.

anyone has one of those? what kind of engine? any good? a keeper?

it also had the following stamped on the cam:
12.08
Z.85M
4851
VP-228

It's a decent camshaft, but fairly conservative. You can add some lift and some exhaust duration (split duration, where the intake and exhaust are open for different amounts of time) and get a much more exciting cam.

ok, thank you sir. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)
