I know the stock cams are interchangable but I was wondering if I could get an aftermarket cam for an a6 and use it in my b7. Aftermarket valve train components are rare for the b7 as you might imagine. Thanks,

from what i have been reading is that the cams are interchangable. you just need to get an adjustable cam gear to compensate for the 1/2 tooth differance from the A6 cam to the B7 cam. But with an aftermarket camshaft you should get the gear also so timing can be dialed in.

 

what happens if i dont use an adjustable cam gear? what if i use the stock b7 cam gear?

Do i have to change my valve lash? if so what are the settings?

 

Works just fine, just swap the b7 out for the a6 do a valve adjustment put an adjustable cam gear on set it half tooth advanced and your set. Stock valve train will be fine...its not that aggressive. I did this setup myself and it gave my d15 a bit more pep

Mister Bones Dyno:

 

ok what if you use the stock b7 cam gear? and what are the LASH SETTINGS?

 

Awsome....I'm gonna have to do this. Is it expensive?
