Description
OEM camshaft kit for VW TDIs with BEW engines. Also, this works as a more reliable option on the BRM & BHW due to a slightly less aggressive profile. Includes 4-year/48,000-mile warranty from time of purchase. We had this kit Rockwell hardness tested; the hardness was identical to Febi/AMC. Thyssenkrupp is a factory supplier to VW. This kit includes all of the parts required to replace the camshaft.
A new tandem pump gasket is also recommended, 038145215

Installation Note: Proper break-in of a camshaft is essential for proper functioning and longevity. Joe Gibb’s Break-in oilย facilitates that well. Below is the recommended process.
1. Put assembly lube on all lobes, lifter faces, distributor gears, bearing journals, lifter barrels, and oil pump gears.
2. Turn the engine over by hand to make sure that nothing is binding up (e.g. cam bearings are properly seated) and that timing is correct.
3. Rev engine to 2000-3000 RPM for 20-30 minutes. Drain break-in oil.
4. Refill with break-in oil and drive normally for about 500 miles.
5. Drain oil again and replace the filter and oil using proper VW 505.01 spec oil, such as Pentosin HPII or Liquimoly. A bottle ofย ZDDP additiveย can provide further protection.
Note on Torsion: Use only the following torque spec.
Journal cap bolts – 038 103 714 — Special Non-stretch torque to 60, 120, 144 inch/lb – Strike caps between each torque & be VERY Careful!
Injector rocker bolts – 038 103 714 A — Special Non-stretch torque to 25 lb/ft
