Hi to all,

I'm getting ready to have the original 2.0 rebuilt. The only mod will be some Euro Kolbenschmidt P&Cs. Everything else will be stock. I will keep the D-jet.

I have my parts li$$$t ready and the only thing I am having difficulty making a choice is on the camshaft and lifter combo.

I searched the forum and most posts refer to cam choices for carbed engines or 2056, with Raby cams (9550) and WebCams (73) highly regarded.

There just isn't that much info on stock grind and there even is doubt on the specs from different vendors.

Major vendors who offer stock cams are EMW, Scat, CBPerformance, Type4store, WebCam and Pelican. Prices vary from $200 to $1000.

Anyone have recommandations or should I just go with a factory cam from Pelican with the Febi lifters?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for posting this. I think I would have been better off with a stock cam in my 2056, but ended up with a Raby-style cam from WebCam. I think it is very high quality, but harder to manage with the stock FI. Finding stock cams was surprisingly hard. In retrospect I think I should have sent my cam off for a regrind.

webcam makes a nicely stock cam for 914 fuel injection.

I had the same problem, but was able to source a NOS VW Camshaft and lifters right in the middle of your price range noted. I am using a set of 96mm P&Cs for a 2056 with original D Jet as well. If you have the time and search the net using the correct Porsche/VW part #s you may be able to find exactly what you need.

I did the same for the internals of my 901 transmission rebuild with the same result. Its still out there if you look hard enough.

Send your cam to Elgin Camshafts. Go to their website and look at your choices.

Elgin has a grind that is a slight improvement over stock without messing with the stock fuel injection

Thank you to all for your input. I think I will send the best camshaft I have laying around to Elgin and see what they can do with it. I'll give them a call on Monday to see what they recommend for the lifters.

By the time the engine will be ready for reassembly, I may get lucky and find a NOS combo and use the rebuilt on the next engine he build.

I don't think you can go wrong with Elgin.

I went with a FAT cam & lifters. They have a bone stock grind available, but also have a slightly more aggressive grind (the 440MP) that works well with the factory FI.

Try German Supply in Toronto for the lifters and Bug City in CT. For lifters and Cam. That’s where I found mine. Good luck!
