[Vwdiesel] Looking for a source for 1.6 cam for hydraulic lifters ASAP

[82 Diesel Westy]

Hi all, just wanted to let you all know my van is up
and running, as of Monday night, 7/3.  I had the
broken lifter issue with an Overland 1.9NA motor a few
years back and just replaced the cam and 2 cracked
lifters.
The new cam came direct Overland, they say they used a
1.6 cam for hydraulic lifters in a 1.9 head, ???.  So,
they sold Karl, from Westy Ventures, a new cam for me.
 He called back to get me another cam for another
project I am working on, they say we do not have any
cams for 1.6 hyd. heads, oh, and we sold you the wrong
cam before, it was a 1.6 mechanical head.  Hence, that
is why I Feel contact in #1 and #2 as I did before. 
No contact when turning the motor by hand of course.

I guess, when the lifters pump up, that could cause
interferance for sure.  I think the original cam was
wrong as well, cam for mechanical lifters 1.6

So, looking for this cam, new or used at this point.
I hope to swap the cam and see if it makes a
difference in the feel.

Thanks, Bryan
