   Alright lads, anyone got a pictures of the standard VTS/GTI camshafts. What markings are there on the standard cams ?
   
   I've taken a few pictures of what markings are on the cams. Only reason i ask is because the valve springs are green i'm just wondering are they uprated or is this standard ?
   
   
   
   
   
   Cheers

   have you changed the valve springs your self??
   what you should of done is to get the piston to tope dead centre and messured the valve clearance of the stock springs!! most cam to valve clearance is 0.2 for inlet and 0.3 for outlet. place your cam lobes to each cylinder and check the clearance buy turning over the engine by hand!!
   your cam timing is vital if this is what you have done your self then your buggered!! take it to a citroen dealership and they should sort it for you!!

   This head is removed mate, its not on the block. its been in my shed for ages. i brought it a while ago because it was claimed to be cammed up. my GTI bottom end went so i just got rid of it.
   
   now i have another GTI and i'm looking to swap the head over for this one.
