Product Overview
High-performance solid lifter camshaft kit for VW 16v ABF engines. Built for high-RPM track, rally and drag applications. Sharper ramp rates and stable valve control at elevated lift and duration. Requires a solid lifter set (NOT hydraulic lifters) and periodic lash adjustment. All STK VW 16v ABF camshaft kits contain the same valve train components — only the camshaft profile differs to suit your application and RPM range.

Installation Notes
Professional installation recommended. Correct spring heights and valve travel must be verified to avoid coil bind. For camshaft installations, always check piston-to-valve clearance and verify spring installed height. Use high-zinc break-in oil on first start.
IMPORTANT: Solid lifter camshafts require a solid lifter set and periodic lash adjustment. NOT compatible with hydraulic lifters.
This component forms part of the valve train system and must be selected to suit the intended engine configuration, RPM range, and camshaft design.
