What Cams For My 6

[tommy gun 6]

hi guys thinking of getting some cams for my gti6 engined 205.

been looking at cat cams having used them before on my 106 gti but also newman and kent.

ive seen the sec of the biggest cams i can use on standard internals but just wont peoples apinions.

tried a search but could not find any thing.

no details of any Catcams though, or a specific figure on the actual clearance, but a few cams that are said to be safe and those that are marginal, and those that have been run but its not advised to.

My mate was having a look for some cams for his 6, turns out he needed to modify a few things for the cams he wanted to make them fit.

 

Have a look at petert's website here, he does regrinds which work well.

Sounds like an interesting engine build welshpug, how did it end up? Any power figures? (306gti link)

I didn't take the 88mm crank + S16 rods any further, just got the head skimmed as little as possible, the valve cutouts enlarged and a PH2 inlet fitted, not MOT'd as yet (has been in one piece since mid April!)

 

It does idle just like a standard engine so far, though the timing hasn't been set with a dial gauge yet.

seems like its best to have the pistons pocketed first after reading the links.

i dont want to go crazy with my engine just some cams, bodies and some managment, so is pocketing ok as i dont wont to weaken the pistons?
