Robert and all other gearheads, ....first of all thanks to Robert Donalds on all his work with performance upgrades....I know I'm a pain in his side.....but. Here is my question: Let's say one wants to get the benefits of ratio rockers without putting ratio rockers in and suffering excessive sideload on the valve guides. The stock 1.9L cam grind is different than the 2.1L......But what is the lift and duration differences of each cam? Does the 2.1L cam profile work with digijet well? Can ojne duplicate the lift and duration of ratio rockers if one maps out the lift on a motor with ratio rockers and puts those numbers onto a cam.....therefore eliminating the need of ratio rockers? With ratio rockers, what is the lift and duration profile? Can a cam be ground to those specs........to duplicate the retainer movement without actually having ratio rockers? Is there a euro grind for the Vanagon?..... Does the Syncro or Syncro 16 have a different cam profile than the rest of us commoners? Has anyone done a cam profile chart showing lift, duration, dwell etc for each cam for the vanagon? Malibu Tony------85' Westy building a 2.2L waterboxer....just working out the details first....thx Bob
