RE: rebuild 87 16 valve

Word on the street is stick w/ stock valves.  Since you're gonna be in
there, I'd DEFINITELY put in an aftermarket cam.  Even the euro-spec intake
cam is supposed to kick ass, and you can keep your exhaust cam the way it 
is
if you do that swap.


If you want to do some interesting reading, got to Jan's FAQ's (Most VW 
related pages have links) and read the Performance comments from Ex-Drake 
sales manager about performance mods on VW.  Some may feel he is alittle 
bias towards Drake but non the less very informative.  The info is dated 
but the theories still do apply.  The guy's name is Robert Collins and his 
reports are a 5 part series.  Great reading, this should set you up to ask 
the right questions, ie forged vs cast pistons, billet, welded or cast 
cranks  cams, german billet, welded, or regrind.  If any of these things 
are Greek to you, you probably should visit the reports.
