Cat Cams Camshaft 251°/251° – Volkswagen 4cyl 1.3L 8V SOHC (2G, AAV)

Description

Cat Cams Camshaft 251°/251° – Volkswagen 4cyl 1.3L 8V SOHC (2G, AAV) is a performance camshaft profile from Cat Cams, developed for the Volkswagen 4cyl 1.3L 8V SOHC engine. Cat Cams has built valvetrain components in Belgium for decades, and every profile is ground to motorsport tolerances rather than adapted from a generic blank.

Key Features:

• 251°/251° duration: an intake and exhaust profile matched as a pair, so the engine gains area under the curve without losing driveability.
• 8.20mm intake / 8.20mm exhaust valve lift: increased lift flows more air through the existing head without requiring further machining.
• Chilled cast iron construction: chilled cast iron construction, the OE-style material, holding its profile under sustained high-rpm loading.
• Correct valvetrain match: ground specifically for the short-block 8v SOHC 8v configuration, so it drops into the standard head.
• Made to order: ground to spec by Cat Cams in Belgium, so the profile arrives fresh rather than off a shelf.

Fitment:

• Volkswagen 4cyl 1.3L 8V SOHC – engine code 2G, AAV
• 030 Polo, keyway centred between lobes 1-2
• short-block 8v SOHC 8v valvetrain

Camshaft changes of this size normally want matched valve springs and a revised tune to realise the profile fully — talk to us if you want the supporting parts specified alongside it.
