Camshafts, Lifters & Pushrods for VW Type 1 & Type 4 Engines

The camshaft defines the character of your air-cooled engine—from smooth low-end torque to aggressive peak horsepower. At aircooledshop.com, you’ll find the right valve timing components for your T1, T2a, or T2b Bus.
Performance or OEM Stock?
We cater to every build philosophy:
  • Stock Camshafts: For a factory-correct engine characteristic and daily reliability.
  • Performance & Sport Cams: Optimized for more power, torque, and a sportier sound (e.g., Engle W100, Webcam). Ideal when paired with our performance cylinder heads.
Lifters (Tappets) and Periphery
Camshafts should always be installed with new lifters. We stock:
  • Mechanical Lifters: The standard choice for Type 1 engines and many performance Type 4 setups.
  • Hydraulic Lifters: Specific for later Type 4 engines (like the 1.8L & 2.0L in the T2b), offering automatic valve adjustment.
  • Pushrods & Tubes: All the surrounding hardware for a reliable valve train assembly.
