tfsi camshaft carrier girdle replacement

(1/1)

Antreasv:
Hello guys.. Started my first project on a Tfsi engine!
 Building a new engine with forged internals my cylinder head is a rebuild one and missing cams and carrier girdle caps.
My question is: Does it affect the engine if i will buy good cams and use from a different engine the carrier girdle caps?

LC5F:
They should line up - but I would bolt it together without cams to check all the journals line up

breeze:
Don’t forget that the fuel pump lobes on the intake cam wear. Check measurements before you install. Also make sure that you get a later intake cam because the design changed (it became two part) and the metal is harder.

pudding:
Personally I would get hold of a complete head with cams. They are line bored at the factory to the cams as a complete unit. Not saying second hand cams wouldn't work, but to mitigate any risk of that......I'd get a complete head.
