180A Cam, Phase 1 Be1 Gearbox

[205tunerke 4 1 Cars]

I 'll start rebuilding my gti engine.

Pulled of the valve cover on my 180a engine and noticed something werd...

The camedges are rounded, where the camedges on my b6d cam are Sharp...

Anybody can tell me if this is normal?

 

Does the 180a engine always use the verry first type be1 gearbox?

I mean the ones whit the be1 shifting patern But don't use a cable in shifting mechanisme...

Some of the XU5J engine variants do suffer from severe cam lobe wear but the edges on some cams are also chamfered on the lobe edges which might be what you have here, a picture might help if you can.

 

I can't help with the gearbox, I thought the Be1 always had the reverse lockout cable in the 205 GTI.

It's not chipped or chamfered, it's grinded machinely...

But is this original?
