1.8 and 2.0 16v heads

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

The cam gears are not listed as a separate part, they're just shown on the cams.
Cams and the chain have the same PN between the 1.8 and 2.0.
IIRC, VW put a lot of work into quieting down the cam drive before the engine was released. See the subarticle on the engine here: http://www.funksoulkitty.org/articles/mk2/VW%20Scirocco%2016V%20-%20An%20Amazing%20Transformation.pdf
