Project VW/4K

[David Glubrecht]

Having played with valve timing adjustments a fair amount, a full tooth is 
almost always too far.  The only way to try different valve timing 
adjustments is to get an adjustable timing sprocket ~$100.  One for a 
rabbit/golf will fit.
  I have one on my 4kq and would generally agree that on a single cam motor 
that at best, when you gain on top end, you loose on bottom.  Great for 
adjusting where your power band is but not how much.  Very important in 
matching engine components.  If your intake and exhaust are tuned for flow 
at high rpm, the cam should be timed for the same.
