Re: [T3] Cam sizes..


The Engle 130 is a bit "extreme" cam.
Many Volks go with the 110 when doing a rebuild, I would go with the 100.
I think the general opinion is that with cams one must be very mild.
If I would buy the longblock I'd try sell/trade the cam to a 100 /110 or
equivalent (276deg and 0.38" lift) .
