   Just a quick one guys what is the measurement in standard cams as I've measured mine and it measures 34mm give or take 1mm.
   Any help will be great as I'm trying to find out if my gti had sport cams fitted or not.
   Thanks

   you need to subtract the diameter of the base circle from that number and this will give you your peak valve lift. This should give you a good indication of whether the profile is a standard or aftermarket one

   would the cam shaft not have markings on it?

   The measurement from the cams to the cam lobe is 34mm give or take 1mm as mentioned above. Just need to no if that's the measurement with standard cams or the measurement with aftermarket cams.
   Thanks
