Title: camshaft distinction mechanical vs hydro Post by: JIMP on November 26, 2021, 12:25:43 pm Hello all, maybe an easy question for someone, but couldnt find any relevant info, how can I distinguish a 4 rivet camshaft sitting on the shelf, if it comes from a wbx 1,9 or CT engine with hydro lifters or it is a post 71 1,6 aircooled with mechanical lifters, please give me the light!

near the lobes and journals to identify a Hydraulic cam Dimitrios. Title: Re: camshaft distinction mechanical vs hydro Post by: JIMP on December 01, 2021, 20:52:26 pm OK thanks a lot! I suspect what you may mean, as I dont have any in front of me now, I remember noticing a ring somewhere besides the center of the cam right?
Anyway a great help, thanks a lot! Friendly Dimitrios |
