cazzy93 0 Posted July 2, 2008 i have just bought myself a kent pt27 cam and on the advert on ebay it said it was for a gti so i bought it and when i recieved it i looked at the kent cam book and it said if was for a 1.9, i am hopefully going to be running it in a 1.6gti engine running twin 40's lightened and balanced crank and flywheels, will this cam still work, also will be running twin valve springs and a vernier pully what elso woud i need done/ would be best to get done to get the most out of the 1.6gti engine which will be getting used for rallying. cheers callum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peetypug 5 Posted July 2, 2008 i had one of these for my 1.9 as far as i know its for both as they have the same head (but somewhere in the back of my mind its saying the early 1.6 had a different head) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted July 3, 2008 It'll fit & work fine on a 1.6, none CAT heads are the same 1.6 or 1.9 from mid 1986 when the 115bhp engine was introduced. You should have the head skimmed to raise the compression to suit the cam better.

The early 1.6 105 bhp engine did have a different head with smaller valves & a different camshaft. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmt 15 Posted July 22, 2008 I run a PT 27 cam in my 1.9, 45´s weber, track use only 205. Would not recomend it for roaduse. Forget idle:-) /Martin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
