- chilled cast iron camshafts

Valve lift and timing data are illustrated on a locked centerline. The VANOS system changes the centerlines and therefore the timing data and lift on TDC.

-

The centerline and TDC data should not be used when installing the camshaft with full cam intake retard (disengaged VANOS system)!!! WRONG INSTALLATION WILL CAUSE THE VALVES TO HIT THE PISTONS!!!

-

We insist to install the VANOS camshaft(s) in such way that the distance between valves and piston is at least 1mm at full advance of the intake (or full retard at the exhaust)

FOR COMPETITION APPLICATIONS ONLY. Following details must be verified:

-

the camshafs must turn smooth in the cylinderhead, provide free travel by machining where needed

-

distance between valve seal and retainer at full lift must be 0.6mm at least

-

minimum valve spring travel of 1.0mm at full lift must be provided

-

distance between valve and piston 1.0mm (pref. 1.5mm). check 5-15° before TDC on exhaust, and after TDC on intake

ONLY for use in competition engines with independent engine management (throttle position sensor) or carburettors
