Cam Question


DSM1290

Recommended Posts

I am inspecting the cam on my 04 Jetta TDI. The surface of the lobe should be a completely smooth machined surface correct? I can feel "lines/ridges" that run horizontally across some of the lobes.

Yea cam lobes should be essentially mirror finished, sounds like you've had wear in there! How far is the engine torn down at this point? Any time you see extensive wear realize that material went somewhere AKA into your oil so there may be some added wear on other component. Oil seem clean when it comes out or are you seeing some "sparkle additive" with it?
