When you read this you will understand that there is NOTHING    billy about this
way of TUNING.
All experiments here is done on a 1.5L NA with a 107A pump and  sitting in front on plywood
running.
And a 1.6L NA  in a 1982  Rabbit driving.     VW diesels are notorious for valve clearance deminishing with wear.
SO ?    well this lack of key in the camshaft ? -----   lets us Hillbilly Tuners correct by 
moving  valvelift a tad back --to the optimum performance.
Valves are opening sooner and sooner till they no longer close.    I ask Loren and the
other mechanicks to tell us if I am correct ?   (maybe I am bass ackwards ?)
Hagar.
PS : make sure you have lots of valveclearance.    ----mine were fine cold --BUT warm ?
one valve did not close. (1.5LNA)
