Rebuild costs?



nah its a stock 1.8L JH VW Cam on it.

but I compared my new G grind cam with the 3a engine I 
got, and the 2L cam on the audi3a head seems to use G 
grind as a cam also *same markings at the same places* 
I need to get my hands on a micrometer and check the 
lobes on that puppy...
