a harsh lesson

[GTI-Ross]

Holy sh*t, i keep saying im gonna get mine checked....this is the final straw....calling Statllers tomorrow

The bits can get everywhere.  

Cam is around 150.  I charge around 4 hours labour plus parts plus oil and filter.

I check the follower on the vRS every 5k.  Any wear at all and it gets a new one.

All new customers to me get the option of having the follower checked when the come in.  Most say yes when I show them what can happen witth the worn and broken ones I keep.

Is the cam lobe shiny or dull?

One of the main things to get flushed fully for me is the turbo. Plus supply/ return pipes. The last thing you want is anything fouling the turbo.

Renew my cam follower at 5k regardless.  Going to make sure its checked after any track time or hard use too.

[gazon69]

Yes mike. If i knew how easy it was to check in the first place then i would have prob done it myself rather than go on the word of other people. Shall also be replacing mine every 5k now regardless of whether is worn at all or not. Its a costly mistake to make i can tell you that. Put it this way, its my rod and piston money down the swan ffs
