Yep, Dr. Schrick makes cams for the 16v (probably others too). They can be had in 256, 264, 280 and 290 degrees, if my German serves me correctly.

HTH!

Kent Cams will re-profile your orignal ones for you, as will Piper - but you need to contact them direct

yup, summat else i thought of. but believe it or not, t was TSR that gave him this info.

He was thinking about dropping a 1.6 16v lump in to replace the 1.4 16v, then tune it, he phoned TSR for options and they said tune the 1.4 cause you dont get cams for a 1.6 16v .......

The excuse sounded rubbish to me too. tbh

Cheers guys, keeps the options open for him
