- Wed Nov 17, 2010 7:00 pm #223332 I am going to put a a6 cam into my b7 and use the y8 camgear (non adjustable) now i know it swaps directly in but what should i set the valve lash at .005/.006 :? :? also with that cam gear is there any timing issues such as advanced or retard the timing any or is it gonna be the same. I ahve searched the forum before posting this but ididnt find anything on the valve lash setting .thank you in advance

the y7/y8 cam gear eliminates the need to mess with timing.

- Tue Jul 26, 2011 10:43 pm #265115 Here are the specs of the a6 and y7 cams:

D15B7
bearing OD = 1.097"
Intake base = 1.218"
Intake lobe = 1.420"
Exhaust base = 1.260"
Exhaust lobe = 1.426"

D16A6
bearing OD = 1.098"
Intake base = 1.220"
Intake lobe = 1.445" (+.025" at cam over D15B7)
exhaust base = 1.262"
exhaust lobe = 1.455" (+.030" at cam over D15B7)

So it is a decent upgrade for the cheap price imo.
