Product Overview
High-performance hydraulic lifter camshaft kit for VW 16v ABF engines. Ideal for street and fast-road applications. Precision ground lobe profiles optimised for power delivery, giving a broad, flexible torque curve with strong drivability and simple setup. 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.
This component forms part of the valve train system and must be selected to suit the intended engine configuration, RPM range, and camshaft design.
