walk away

[L DC]

Tony,
 
Could you please elaborate on the "more lift" due to that MC1 cam swap you did on the JT-Engine?
 
At what REV do you start to see the difference?
How's your gas mileage after the swap?
Was the swap straight forward?
Any other parts needed swap...e.i. Bolts, Nuts, Bearings?
 
Thanks in advance.
 
-Louis

Dan,
 
Just had a friend sell a 740 Turbo Manual with a bad clutch for $300. Pretty nice shape. But, Camden will get a non-turbo, for obvious reasons!! Although, it will be a manual.
 
to add to Cody's info, the JT is non-interference, the 20V's all are, as are the NG/NF (100's and 80/90's). However, as I've added teh MC1 cam to one of my JT's it became an intereference engine. It has more lift, therefore interference is certain if the belt goes.
 
A majority of newer engines are interference, while a lot of the older ones (not just VAG) were not.
 
Tony

I know first hand that the MC 10vt is interference on all 10 valves.
