Type 1 Camshafts for VW Beetle
Type 1 Camshafts for VW Beetle
The camshaft is the central component of the valvetrain and largely determines how your VW Beetle delivers power. Whether you seek a smooth, stock characteristic for daily driving or more power for the weekend fun – the right camshaft makes all the difference. At aircooledshop.com, we offer a curated selection of cams for every application.
The Right Cam for Your Beetle
The choice depends on your engine setup and driving style:
- Stock Camshafts: For original 1200cc to 1600cc engines. Designed for reliability, economy, and factory-spec performance.
- Mild Performance (e.g., Engle W100): Entry-level cams that noticeably improve low-to-mid range torque without compromising the idle quality. Ideal for daily driver tuning.
- Sport & Race (e.g., Engle W110/W120, Schrick): For built engines with higher compression and larger cylinder heads. These focus on maximum peak horsepower and high RPM stability.
Lifters & Accessories: All in One Place
A camshaft should never be installed alone:
- New Lifters: An absolute MUST with any new camshaft installation. New cam = new lifters to prevent immediate wear.
- Cam Gears: Precision-made for accurate timing and durability.
- Assembly Lube/ZDDP Additives: Essential lubricants for the critical break-in period of the new camshaft and lifters.
