[Vwdiesel] Cam broke D-Westy

[Nate Wall]

That's odd. Did something jam?

Be careful when locating a replacement cam. Diesel cams are different for mechanical and hydraulic lifter heads. The dealer told me this. Not sure how, though. The change occured beginning of 1986 model year.

I think that I can just replace the cam and it should be all right.  Has anyone had this happen before and should I be looking for damage anywhere else?  Luckily my other D-Westy is running great.  Never hurts to have a spare Westy.
