They are not stock cams. All 1.8t stock cams are the same as far as I know.

If you look at IE cams, it looks like the same logo but not a clear shot:

IE cams look like they have id's printed on the end.

Yeah they aren't IE's. Seller said nothing on the end.

If you look at that Fortitude thread I posted along with the pic, that symbol is for Etsas, a company that makes cam blanks. So, they are aftermarket but I would still like to know the specs before I would buy them. I offered the seller $100 no questions asked but it was not accepted

I'm not paying $300 for unknown cams. I just can't do it. I'll give it this weekend and if they don't sell I'm guessing I can get them for $200.

no gamble, no win. pick up a cheap vernier caliper and snag a couple measurements off of them, I'll check a known stock cam I have laying around.

I have both a caliper (mitutoyo even!) and a set of stock cams. I'm leaving tomorrow morning for St. Cloud to shadow an attorney and do the valentines day thing. If they are around Sunday, I will probably snag them. Gotta go up to Forest Lake though. May have to stop at Running Aces lol

Never been, used to go to Mystic sometimes. Making trip #2 of the year to Vegas next week, throw some dice and check out the hookers; epic people watching to be had there.

Vegas is always a great time! Don't have too much fun though. If you haven't played dice before, head over to Turtle Lake. Went about 3 weeks ago. I was doing very bad on the craps table. Even had to borrow $10 at one point in time. And then it turned around. I even hit a $5 bet on snake eyes for 30:1. My buddy had $10 on the same bet. What a hell of a night

Guessing you played craps before if this is trip #2 though!

Haha yeah, won't play anything else in a casino. Last trip to Vegas I ended up ahead somewhere around $700 including expenses (not that I have any delusions about winning money when I go), craps is a bunch of fun but sucks when the table is on a long roll and you end up leaving a bunch of money out there.

I never press my bets. I pocket that shit lol

A few weeks ago, my buddy was betting with $25 chips and probably had around 5-10 of them out there at a time. I heard "yo" and "two for the crew" so many times it started to get annoying. He was making some terrible bets and winning. One hell of a time. Guessing he was up $1500 in an a couple hours.

But I will give you a pm if I end up picking those cams up.

Autotech does not make an exhaust camshaft for the 1.8t. Honestly, I wouldn't even bother. You have no specs on them (and neither does the seller apparently). Is $100/$200 worth the risk of possibly getting improperly timed camshafts? You have no idea what max lift is, what lift at TDC is, duration, etc. Or you end up paying $100/$200 for stock camshafts? Has the seller actually ran them in a motor? They look untouched.

If he goes to look at them and can determine with a couple quick measurements that they are or are not stock I already told him I would toss them in the cam doctor and we will know exactly what they are.

[chris164935]

Well, I guess keep us posted on the mysterious camshafts.

Pretty bad when a seller can't even tell you what brand part they are trying to sell. I guess this is bound to happen with all the salvage yard pickers out there now.

[redline380]

the seller is a shop. they took them out of a customers car because they wanted stock cams back. the cams were sitting around for a couple years they said and are just selling them now. I might grab measurement

Could also ask them to send you pictures of the gears on the back, that might help you figure out what brand they are.
