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)
